Rugbrød
Rugbrød, or (rye bread) is the most commonly used bread in Denmark. The common rugbrød usually resembles a long brown square, no more than 12 cm high, and 30-35 cm wide, although shapes and sizes may vary, as well as the ingredients. Sour dough and whole peeled wheat seeds are always the base. The rugbrød, while highly praised among Danes, have found little acceptance in other cultures, as it is often regarded by non-Danes as being too sour, or too hard, or simply just unappealing to the eye. Rugbrød is always very low on fat, compared to white bread and toast. It contains no oil or flavouring. Although it will often contain preservatives to keep it fresh longer.
