Questions about bread that excite

About the ingredients of our breads

Are there preservatives, flavours and colorants in bread?

No. All of our breads are made entirely with natural ingredients - without preservatives; without flavours and colorants; without hydrogenated fats; without E-numbers. Due to the lack of preservatives, the shelf life of our breads is quite short - from 3 to 5 days depending on their type. We transport the bread from the place of production to the trade network and sales point daily, so that you enjoy fresh bread every day.

Do you use live yeast?

Yes. Live yeast is an integral part of all of our breads. We have transferred ancient fermentation technology to modern environment, yet we fully retained the principle of using only flour and water. That’s it! The mixture needs 24 hours to turn into a liquid leaven and be ready to give life to each of our breads.

What flour do you use?

We combine different varieties of wheat in order to create the perfect mix of grains. We grind the required amount of the four main types of flour - white, standard, “Dobrudja” and wholegrain and we are ready to make bread.

By tracking the flour we use from the farmland, through the mill and all the way to the oven, we can guarantee the optimal and consistent quality of our breads.

Do you use GMO wheat?

No. The import of GMO wheat in Bulgaria is prohibited. We use high quality Bulgarian wheat for all of our breads.

About nutritional values

What does wholegrain bread mean?

When choosing wholegrain bread, make sure that the first ingredient in its content is namely wholegrain flour. When preparing wholegrain flour the most important thing is to preserve all the components of the grain when grinding it. Thus, it contains nutrients in the natural proportions of the grain, which makes it the most natural product. Our breads from the "Zhivena" series are made of 100% wholegrain flours derived from wheat, rye or spelt. You can see all the breads from "Zhivena" series here.

Are Simid breads suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

Yes. All our breads are made with natural plant ingredients. The plant sources of protein in our breads from the "Zhivena" series contribute to the balanced menu of people who do not consume foods of animal origin.

Is there fibre in bread?

Every bread contains fibre. The amount of fibre is higher in wholegrain breads and breads with added grains and seeds. Two slices of our “Zhivena” breads contain about 6 g of fibre or about 25% of the recommended daily intake of fibre (25 g). It is advisable to consume more foods containing fibre for a healthy and balanced menu.

Why fat value in breads with nuts and seeds is higher?

The value of fat is higher because nuts and seeds are natural sources of fat. The good news is that they contain beneficial unsaturated fats, as well as fibre and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
