Bread in Finland
Bread (leipä) is served with every meal in Finland, and comes in a vast array of varieties. Rye bread is the most popular bread in Finland. Typically Finnish ones include:
hapankorppu, dry, crispy and slightly sour flatbread, occasionally sold overseas as "Finncrisp"
limppu, catch-all term for big loaves of fresh bread
näkkileipä, another type of dark, dried, crispy rye flatbread
ruisleipä (rye bread), can be up to 100% rye and much darker, heavier and chewier than American-style rye bread; unlike in Swedish tradition, Finnish rye bread is typically unsweetened and thus sour and even bitter.
rieska, unleavened bread made from wheat or potatoes, eaten fresh
