German rye bread

Delba 5 Grain Bread

HK$17 for 250 grams, ThreeSixty

This all-natural, preservative-free loaf is made mainly from rye, with added wheat, barley, oats and millet. Most rye breads are traditionally made with a sourdough starter and have a very long baking period, hence they tend to be dark-coloured and taste malty and slightly sour.

Verdict: grainy and crumbly; thinly sliced as it's so dry and dense that it's best savoured in small amounts.
