But have you ever wondered how black bread came to be? Well, it's a long story, but I'll give you the short version: it all started with the Vikings, who used to make a type of black bread from emmer wheat and rye flour. They'd bake it in a wood-fired oven until it was nice and crispy, and then they'd use it to sail the seven seas... or at least, that's what I like to think!
Fast forward to the Middle Ages, and black bread becomes a staple food in medieval Europe. It was the perfect food for peasants and nobles alike, since it was cheap, filling, and could be made with just a few simple ingredients. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good peasant food? I mean, it's like the original hipster food – it was cool before it was cool!
