Who is this choice relevant to?

Breakfast eaters looking for fibre

You’re specifically looking for wholemeal tiger bread and want to compare the fibre per 100 g. The colour of the bread or its crust is no substitute for checking the product information.

Households in a hurry in the morning

You want bread you can top straight away and take with you. Pre-sliced bread saves you the job of cutting it; ALDI describes its Boeren tijger volkoren as pre-sliced.

Smaller households

You don’t eat many slices of bread every day and want to choose an amount you can finish or freeze according to the storage instructions. PLUS lists a half loaf of wholemeal tiger bread weighing 400 g.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check that the specific tiger bread is wholemeal. Then decide whether pre-sliced bread and the pack size suit your morning routine.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important to?
Wholemeal and fibre Look for the wholemeal label on the specific loaf and compare the fibre per 100 g. PLUS lists 6.4 g of fibre per 100 g for its Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2. I want to choose wholemeal tiger bread rather than rely on its brown crust; for around 42% of consumers, verifiable wholemeal and fibre information comes first.
Quick to top Check whether the bread is pre-sliced and whether the size suits your needs. When there’s little time in the morning, I want to be able to top a slice straight away. Around 33% of consumers give quick preparation the highest priority.
A suitable amount Compare a whole loaf and a half loaf with how much you use; read the storage instructions if you want to freeze portions. In a small household, I want to avoid a whole loaf going uneaten; the quantity is the most important criterion for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming brown tiger bread is wholemeal

    A tiger crust or brown colour doesn’t confirm that wholemeal flour was used. Dirk lists tiger brown bread and wholemeal breads as separate options.

    Check whether the specific product is labelled wholemeal in its name, ingredients list or legal description.

  • Looking only at fibre

    The nutritional information may also include other values that matter to your choice. PLUS lists both 6.4 g of fibre and 0.97 g of salt per 100 g for its Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2, and names wheat and barley as allergens.

    Compare nutritional values on the same basis, such as per 100 g, and check the current packaging of the bread you buy for allergen information.

  • Choosing a whole loaf without considering how much you use

    Pre-sliced bread saves time in the morning, but a whole loaf may be more than your household can use in time.

    Consider a half loaf or freeze portions if the product’s storage instructions allow it.

  • Assuming all tiger bread contains baker’s salt

    The Voedingscentrum lists baker’s salt as a possible source of added iodine. The type of bread alone doesn’t tell you which ingredients a specific product contains.

    Check the ingredients list for the specific loaf if baker’s salt is important to your choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is tiger bread automatically wholemeal?

No. A tiger crust and a brown colour don’t automatically make bread wholemeal. Check the label on the specific product; PLUS, for example, describes its Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2 as wholemeal wheat bread with tiger decoration.

Which size is practical for a quick breakfast?

You can top pre-sliced bread without having to cut it. If you don’t eat much bread, also consider a half loaf: the PLUS variety mentioned weighs 400 g. Follow the storage instructions if you want to freeze portions.

Does all tiger bread contain iodine from baker’s salt?

You can’t tell from the type of bread alone. The Voedingscentrum lists baker’s salt as a possible source of added iodine; check the ingredients list for the specific product to see whether it mentions baker’s salt.

Where can I find allergen information for wholemeal tiger bread?

Read the allergen information on the current packaging of the specific loaf. PLUS lists wheat and barley for its Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2 and warns that it may contain traces of other allergens. Don’t assume the same information applies to a different variety.
