About Black russian bread

Black Russian bread, or Borodinsky bread, originates from Russia and is traditionally made using rye flour, which gives it its dark color and hearty texture. It often includes ingredients such as molasses, caraway seeds, and coriander for distinct flavor. High in dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates, black Russian bread provides a slow-releasing source of energy. It is also lower in gluten compared to wheat-based bread, making it easier to digest for some people. A slice typically contains 70-100 calories, 2-3 grams of protein, and around 1-2 grams of dietary fiber, depending on specific recipes.

Health Benefits

• Rich in dietary fiber, rye bread supports healthy digestion and regular bowel movements.
• Contains manganese, which plays a key role in bone health and metabolism.
• Low in gluten compared to wheat bread, potentially making it easier to digest for those with gluten sensitivities (though not for those with celiac disease).
