A recent Readers Digest Canada article called “Put Pumpernickel in Your Diet” cites Mestemacher as ”an ‘artisan’ bread that combines the benefits of two other Magic foods: rye bread and sour dough bread.”
Highlights of the piece include: “Your best bet is to shop at a place that sells ‘artisan’ breads. Such bakeries tend to use more traditional pumpernickel recipes. If the bread feels heavy for its size, it’s probably the real thing.”
According to the source, “Commercial brands include Mestemacher (imported from Germany).” The author warns: “Beware imitations. Not all store bought pumpernickels have the same benefits of traditional German pumpernickel,” such as Mestemacher.
The dense Mestemacher breads are made by a third generation family-owned company since 1871, according to time-honored baking traditions. The company uses the natural whole grain ground daily in its own mills. The bread features high fiber, low fat, cholesterol-free benefits. Mestemacher’s Pumpernickel, Black Westphalian Pumpernickel and its Party Pumpernickel Rounds are sold in packaged sliced loaves.
The article further describes health benefits of pumpernickel bread: ”As with rye bread, pumpernickel loads you up with lignans, the naturally occurring plant compounds that may help reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancers.”
In addition to its delicious flavor, Mestemacher pumpernickel bread is a wise dietary choice.
