 Toasted, every morningDec 31, 2008
By K. B. Fenner
This bread makes the best toast. It lasts for months, fresh, on the cupboard shelf, and keeps nicely in the fridge once opened. It has a tangy sourdough taste rather than the slight bitterness often found with whole grains and a dense, slightly chewy whole grain texture. I would not make a sandwich with it--it is too crumbly, but it is great for open-faced toast, spread with jam, peanut butter or pate. I order it by the case.

Tastes great toasted, satisfiing, rib sticking, wholesomJan 03, 2009
By Joy of cooking
This bread is satisfying for hours. No more carb cravings. Agree with other poster about how it seems to stabilize blood sugar levels. Slices are long. Cut it in half and toast. One slice is one serving, is 6g of fiber, has 4g of protein, 1 g fat and only 350g sodium. Ingredients: whole kernel rye, water, oat kernels, whole meal rye, iodized salt, wheat germ, oat fiber, yeast. That's it, nothing else.

Mestemacher Fitness BreadOct 08, 2010
By Sandra Cannellos
This is the best bread I have ever had. It is so naturally full of fiber, it is a meal by itself. It is especially good toasted with some soy butter and nutritional yeast on top. My daily routine is 1 slice of toasted Mestemacher Fitness Bread and a cup of organic hazelnut coffee. Life is sweet!

Amazing StuffMay 12, 2010
By Nathan P. Kemling

The thing I find most amazing is how long the bread lasts. Truly amazing. My wife bought some of the Mestemacher Rye Variety at Christmas time. I opened it and had some. I left it on the shelf (un-refrigerated) with some plastic loosely wrapped around the opened end. Checked it every so often to see if it was turning green and it never did. Finally decided to try some again in April just before ordering the Fitness Bread I'm rating here. Toasted it and loved it. I love the Rye (one loaf), Fitness (working through a case), and Pumpernickle (just received a new case and begun working through it). To keep that well without any preservatives is simply amazing. I haven't developed a "real" taste for it plain but love the chewy texture and hardy flavor when toasted. Reminds me in this regard of Health Bread my mother made as a boy. The high fiber and low fat serve me well in getting carbohydrate from whole grain as an active diabetic. Provides a good energy source without severe sugar spikes. Shipping from Amazon was slow but free so great as long as you plan your shipments so you don't run out of bread. Love the concept. Working on my second case!

Breakfast StapleAug 22, 2009

I have been enjoying a piece of Mestemacher Fitness Bread every morning for three years. I lived in Germany for six years, and was spoiled by their infinitely superior breads--without equal in quality or variety--and no preservatives! When I finally found Mestemacher at a local imported foods store, I was delighted. I like imported gourmet jams with it, and am very happy with the wholesomeness, dense texture and thin slices. It was even better when I discovered it could be ordered online through Amazon, at less than the local cost--and it's much more convenient. The freshness date on the order I just received is far better than the one I was finding in the local store. The streamlined size of the loaves make it easy to store 12 loaves in an ordinary freezer compartment.
