I apologize: I should have said "Dreikornbrot", perhaps to translate with
"Three-grain-bread"??
To be correct: The German "Korn" is not grain in PUPO's sense. A
"Five-grain- bread " may contain (Oil)seeds like sunflower, flax or sesame.
A "Fuenfkornbrot" has five types of grain from the following bread- grains
which belongs to the graminaceous: corn (maize, indian corn), rye, wheat,
oat, spelt, rice, barley, millet and buckwheat. So the real German
pumpernickel has only rye, wheat and old bread and seeds from rye and/or
wheat.
So it's all a kind of definition what you'll understand....
Who cares for definitions, if it is the taste that counts???
