Choosing Smakumi bread: flours, seeds and favourite combinations
By Smakumi ·
This article was first published for the Lana Vegana catalogue on 14 September 2026. This version was adapted for Smakumi on 21 September 2026; product names, recipes and contact details remain the same.
The Smakumi catalogue includes loaves, baguettes, rolls and sweet buckwheat bread. To narrow your choice, start with ingredients you enjoy: oats, green buckwheat, seeds, spices, or dried fruit and nuts. Then compare a few products from that group. This gives you a practical starting point for choosing something for breakfast or teatime, and for deciding what you would like to try next.
Start with the flour combination
Oat bread combines oat flour with green buckwheat flour; its short description also lists tapioca and psyllium. Toasting bread has a different combination: millet and oat flours, a rice sourdough starter and grapeseed oil. These two are a useful pair to consider if you want to compare products that both contain oat flour.
Buckwheat bread lists green buckwheat, rice sourdough starter and coriander. It offers a way to explore the combination of buckwheat and spice. Green buckwheat also appears in other products, including oat bread and chia bread, so the name of one ingredient does not describe the whole combination.
Choose seeds or spices
Chia bread is made with a rice sourdough starter, chia, millet flour and green buckwheat flour. Multigrain baguette contains millet flour and a seed mixture that includes sunflower, flax, pumpkin and sesame. If seeds are part of what you enjoy in bread, these two descriptions give you different combinations to explore.
For a distinctive blend of spices, the catalogue includes caraway and coriander bread. Its description also names green buckwheat, cocoa and sunflower seeds. Coriander appears in buckwheat bread too, but the other listed ingredients differ between the two products.
Compare the three baguettes
All three baguettes in the catalogue use rice sourdough. Their flours and seeds provide a straightforward way to choose between them:
| Baguette | Ingredients highlighted in the description |
|---|---|
| Multigrain | Millet flour and mixed seeds |
| Sorghum | Sorghum and brown rice flours |
| Rice and chickpea | Rice and chickpea flours |
With the same general format and a shared type of starter, you can focus on the ingredient differences. If you are curious about sorghum, look at the sorghum baguette. For the combination of rice and chickpea, choose the rice and chickpea baguette.
Consider rolls and sweet buckwheat bread
Gluten-free rolls are another rice sourdough option. Their description lists green buckwheat flour, oat flour and chia. You can consider them alongside oat bread or chia bread: some ingredients overlap, although these are separate products.
For something sweet with coffee or tea, there is sweet buckwheat bread. It combines buckwheat dough with dried fruit, nuts and a hint of vanilla. If that is the combination you have in mind, this is the product to explore first.
Pick a pair to explore
One way to get to know the range is to choose two products with an ingredient in common: oat and toasting breads; buckwheat bread and caraway and coriander bread; or chia bread and gluten-free rolls. Another option is to choose one loaf and add sweet buckwheat bread for teatime.
The short descriptions help you narrow the choice, but they list only the main ingredients. Before ordering, ask Svetlana for the full ingredients and availability of your chosen products. If a particular ingredient matters to you, ask about it specifically: its absence from a short description does not mean it is absent from the product.
