PEMA Organic Spelt and Rye Bread, German Bread , 375g - Pack of 12
Made by Pema, based in Weissenstadt, Bavaria.
PEMA Organic Spelt and Rye Bread is a traditional German-style bread produced by PEMA Vollkorn-Spezialitäten, a company specializing in wholegrain baked goods. This product comes in 375g loaves, sold in a pack of 3, making it convenient for stocking up. It’s crafted as a speciality bread using freshly ground wholegrain spelt and natural sourdough, resulting in a dense, nutritious loaf with a slightly tangy flavor profile typical of authentic German rye breads.
The bread is composed of 90% organic spelt and 10% organic wholegrain rye, along with simple, natural ingredients like water, sea salt, and yeast—free from preservatives, additives, or artificial flavors. It’s certified organic, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and rich in fiber, which supports digestive health. The use of a three-stage natural sourdough process enhances its bioavailability of nutrients, texture, and taste, giving it a succulent, hearty bite that’s distinct from lighter, yeast-leavened breads.
Nutritionally, a typical serving (around 50-70g) provides about 100-160 calories, with good amounts of whole grains contributing to sustained energy. It’s low in fat and sugars, making it a wholesome option for those seeking ancient grains like spelt, which is known for being particularly nutrient-dense and easier to digest for some compared to modern wheat varieties.
This bread is versatile: enjoy it sliced for open-faced sandwiches (a German favorite), toasted with toppings like cheese or avocado, or as a base for hearty meals. It’s often praised for its long shelf life due to the natural fermentation, though storing it in a cool, dry place or freezing extends freshness.
