What it is
This is a soft, pre-sliced sandwich bread made with a blend of rye flour and whole seeds. The rye flour contributes a slightly denser texture and a subtle, earthy flavor compared to white bread. The added seeds, often a mix of sunflower, flax, and sesame, provide a pleasant crunch and visual appeal. It is baked and packaged for convenience, ready to be used as a base for various meals.
