Breakfast




Starting the day with a tasty breakfast! Fresh waffles and the classic bread roll with quark or ham - with the scent of fresh coffee in your nose, breakfast is especially delicious for most people. And it's not for nothing that breakfast is famously the most important meal of the day, as it provides power and energy for the day's tasks. Additionally, it helps prevent cravings and aids in weight loss. On a free day, breakfast can of course be enjoyed differently than on weekdays. Recipes and flavors also vary greatly. Whether it's typical Austrian recipes, such as a soft-boiled egg and healthy oatmeal, or a French recipe with croissants and coffee - breakfast can certainly be varied. Different countries, different customs While there is a first meal (typically taken early in the morning) all over the world, the ingredients vary from country to country. While many Europeans appreciate a sweet breakfast, sweet spreads are hardly known in Africa and Asia. At least in German-speaking countries, accommodations distinguish between simple breakfast, extended breakfast, and breakfast buffet. The former is also known as "continental breakfast" and usually includes at least one hot beverage, bread, butter, and jam. The extended version also includes rolls, cheese, cold cuts, fruit, and fruit juice. The breakfast buffet offers the largest assortment of baked goods, spreads, and toppings. Usually, cooked eggs or scrambled eggs, as well as cereal and flakes, are also part of a breakfast buffet. Many Germans now appreciate the variety on the breakfast table, both at home and in hotels. Typically, breakfast is more indulgent on weekends and during vacations than on regular workdays. Nevertheless, baked goods remain the most important part of breakfast. About 60 percent of Germans who eat bread/rolls in the morning prefer savory bread toppings, while the remaining 40 percent opt for sweet spreads. Adults mainly drink either tea or coffee, and children drink either milk, cocoa or juice in the morning. Children in particular also enjoy a bowl of cornflakes or cereal with milk instead of a slice of bread. Breakfast as part of a healthy diet For many years now, people have been researching how important it is to have breakfast. Apparently, consuming a typical German breakfast improves memory performance. Therefore, regular consumption of the first meal of the day should be emphasized, especially for school children. The nutrient supply of those children and adolescents who eat breakfast more closely corresponds to scientific recommendations than that of "breakfast skippers." The reason for this is the higher consumption of vital vitamins and minerals. The proverb "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" originates from a time when people mainly worked physically hard. Those who wanted to cope with the strenuous work in the fields or elsewhere ate a relatively sumptuous breakfast. Nowadays, however, few people in Germany are physically as demanding as they were 100 or more years ago. Nevertheless, one thing remains true: regular breakfast has several positive effects - provided that the individual energy requirements per day are considered. If you are one of those who have little time for regular meals during the day, you should pay particular attention to consuming high-calorie snacks. A slice of wholemeal bread with butter and cheese/cold cuts as well as fruit is always better than calorie bombs in the form of chocolate bars and fries. Many recipes for a healthy breakfast For breakfast, you can also try out new and unusual recipes. We offer you a separate category in this online shop where you can find everything you need for your recipe. Here you have the opportunity to equip yourself for your breakfast. Choose from our large selection of bread and pastries or let yourself be inspired by new ideas and original surprises in the accessories category. Of course, you will also find what you're looking for in this shop if you want to bake bread yourself. Take a look at the food category. A healthy recipe with eggs is a breakfast omelette with herbs: Take a few sprigs of fresh herbs and add them, along with salt and pepper, to a recipe you know for simple omelettes. The herb omelette becomes particularly hearty when you put some goat cheese on it in the pan, which you let melt. Do you prefer yogurt to eggs? Then why not prepare yourself a breakfast from a small container of low-fat yogurt, a few tablespoons of oatmeal, about 100 grams of your favorite fruit, and a teaspoon of honey, which is good for your health? If you already have guests in the morning, you can enrich the breakfast table not only with cheese and cold cuts but also with fish. Smoked fish (trout or salmon) is the best choice, and it combines perfectly with fresh vegetables such as carrots and kohlrabi. Preparing a varied sweet breakfast If you're not a fan of scrambled eggs, cheese, and cold cuts, you probably prefer a sweet breakfast. Then jam and preserves should not be missing as bread spreads. Our shop offers you a choice of various fruits in the form of jam, preserves, and jelly under "fruit spreads." You can also opt for honey and syrup. Do you prefer organic products? Of course, we offer you both cereal and savory and sweet bread spreads in organic quality. A sweet breakfast is also good to complement with a small piece of cake. Under "bread and pastries," you will find a wide range of cakes, waffles, and similar products. The "cereals and muesli" category contains other items that may be of interest to you. If you add fresh fruit to the selected cereals or your favorite muesli, your morning nutrition can be considered relatively healthy. Unfortunately, not everything that tastes good is also good for your body. You should make sure that you do not consume too much sugar by eating cakes and sweet bread spreads. Make breakfast the culinary highlight of the day Variety should always be a topic, even at breakfast. How about a delicious fruit breakfast as an alternative to classic bread rolls, for example? In our online shop, you will find various fruit recipes. Smoothies are also healthy and a real alternative. They are particularly suitable for those who want to lose a few pounds and start the day healthily. Be creative and order your breakfast highlights here at the food delivery service. On the homepage, you will find current offers, new products, and bestsellers, some of which might enrich your planned breakfast/brunch. If you ever want to offer a particularly rich breakfast or a breakfast buffet for your family and guests, it is less about health than about taking into account all requests. Apart from bread, rolls, several types of cheese, and cold cuts, scrambled eggs and fish should also be on the table. Fruit and vegetables are not only a beautiful decoration for the cheese and cold cut platters but can also be eaten by guests as a crunchy and healthy snack. Many people enjoy cut vegetables (carrots, cucumber, and kohlrabi) with a savory dip. This can be easily prepared from cream cheese, herbs, and spices. Apart from products from the "bread and pastries," "bread spreads," and "cereals and muesli" categories, the "everything for coffee and tea" category also plays a significant role on the occasion of a festive breakfast or a breakfast buffet. You can choose between traditional coffee beans, instant coffee, and a considerable number of tea bags. Cocoa, mixed drinks, and milk round off the range of hot drinks and accessories for hot drinks. The obligatory orange juice, which is essential for many with a rich breakfast, as well as the bottle of sparkling wine, can be found in the "drinks" category.
