Crumbz Health Cob
Health cob, often referred to simply as “cob,” is a popular bread in Barbados known for its hearty and nutritious qualities. Made with whole wheat flour, this bread is denser than white bread and is often enriched with additional ingredients like oats, seeds, or even grated coconut, enhancing its flavor and nutritional value.
The dough typically includes ingredients like yeast, water, and a touch of sugar, and it may be flavored with spices like nutmeg. The bread is usually baked into round or oval shapes, resulting in a rustic crust and a soft, chewy interior.
Health cob is prized for its versatility; it can be enjoyed on its own, used for sandwiches, or served alongside soups and stews. Its wholesome ingredients make it a popular choice for those looking for a more nutritious option, and it reflects the Barbadian commitment to hearty, satisfying foods that nourish the body. This bread is a staple in many households, appreciated for its comforting taste and wholesome qualities.
