BARLEYmax®: for extra healthy bread
The challenge for healthy breads is to make them delicious and tasty. At Sonneveld we are happy to introduce to you a new type of grain, with extra health benefits compared to wholemeal: BARLEYmax®. With its nutty aroma and sweet flavour, the taste is considerably improved compared to wholemeal bread. BARLEYmax® contains twice as much dietary fiber as regular barley, and is rich in iron, zinc, and vitamin B6. BARLEYmax® brings added value in nutritiousness, in flavour and in applicability.
- Better nutritional value than wholemeal
- Unique fibre profile for optimal gut health
- BARLEYmax® gives products a pleasant nutty aroma
Making the healthy choice, the tasty choice!
Bread is a nutritious grain product and one of the most nutritious foods in terms of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. All types of wholemeal bread and brown bread are rich in fiber, but the wholemeal variants contain by far the most fiber, vitamins and minerals that are important for the body. Fibers from bread ensure good bowel function and digestion. The fibers also ensure a good stomach filling. In all these aspects, wholemeal bread stands above fruit and vegetables, (wholemeal) pasta, (wholemeal) rice and pseudocereals.
"Wholemeal bread is a nutritious grain product and is rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. It is in fact a superfood and daily consumption provides the best contribution to the necessary nutrients. What if you could turn a healthy and high nutritional value product such as wholemeal bread into an even better type of bread?"

Dr. Ir. Peter Weegels, Director European Bakery Innovation Centre, foresees that in order to feed the future global population, it is of the highest importance to develop nutricious, safe and sustainable food. One of the issues in the rise of healthy food products, is the conviction of consumers that healthy food is not tasty.
In order to break the healthy is not tasty paradigm, Sonneveld amongst other partners in the food industry, we strive to make healthy food more delicious. In his research, Peter Weegels explains about cereals as nutritious food and introduces a whole new cereal which is tasty and comes with extra health benefits: BARLEYmax®.
