Nutritional content

Whole grain multigrain breads contain a dietary fibre content of up to four times greater than white breads¹³¹⁴ and may also contain more vitamins and protein compared to white bread.¹⁵ Multigrain breads also provide complex carbohydrates.¹⁶

Commercial varieties

Multigrain bread is commercially mass-produced and marketed to consumers.¹⁷ Some commercial varieties are prepared using 100% whole grain flour.¹⁸ Between 1989 and 1994 in the United States, multigrain bread was "one of the fastest growing markets within the bakery sector".¹⁹

Use in brewing

A 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian recipe for brewing beer from multigrain loaves of bread mixed with honey is the oldest surviving beer recipe in the world.²⁰ The Brussels Beer Project microbrewery in Belgium has developed an amber beer with a 7% alcohol by volume named Babylone that incorporates this recipe using leftover, unsold fresh bread donated by supermarkets.²¹²²²³
