🍽 What is it?

100% wholegrain rye, water, yeast, and salt.
Baked until dry, with variations like sourdough, multigrain, or sea salt–topped citeturn0search6turn0search4.
Often round or in triangular pieces (like Ikea sells), roughly 200 g packs citeturn0search1turn0search2.

Storage tip

Keep sealed in a dry, cool place, like a jar or sealed bag.
