What it is

To enjoy these bagels, you can toast them to your preference for a crispier exterior and a warm, soft interior. Alternatively, they can be eaten at room temperature.

They also work well as a base for breakfast sandwiches, holding eggs, cheese, and breakfast meats, or for lunch sandwiches with deli meats and vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to bagels made with refined white flour, these 100% whole wheat bagels have a darker color and a more robust, slightly coarser texture. The whole grain content contributes to their distinct flavor, which is earthier and less sweet than their white flour counterparts.

How to keep the rest
To keep any remaining bagels fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, you can freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
