Portland OR's Dave's Killer Bread Celebrates Its New Offering: Bagels

Portland, Ore. – Dave’s Killer Bread (“DKB”) proudly announces the official debut of its 100 percent whole grain seedy bagel, the Good Seed Halos.

The Bagels were test marketed this summer at the place it all began, the Portland Farmers Market, where fans cast their votes on the taste and texture of the new super-seedy halos. The bagels are now in stores at many locations the killer breads are currently carried (see store locator) throughout the Northwest United States, such as Safeway, Whole Foods, Metropolitan Markets, Zupan’s, PCC, Fred Meyer, New Seasons, Winco, and many local markets.

Unlike any other shelf bagel, the Good Seed Halos are made with organic whole grains and healthy seeds such as flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds, sweetened with organic molasses and evaporated cane juice. The bagels are boiled before baking, like traditional, New York-style bagels. Official taste-testers of the bagels concluded they are ultra-rich in flavor with a soft chewy texture to create a hardy breakfast, snack or lunch sandwich. Key nutrition facts: 100% Whole Grain, 1590 mg Omega-3 ALA, 15g Protein, 11g Fiber, 300 calories.

"We sold our first loaves of bread back in August 2005 at the Portland Farmers Market, and we are proud to announce that six years later, we introduced our newest product at the market," said Dave Dahl, President, Dave’s Killer Bread. Fans taste-tested and cast their votes on the flavor and textures of the bagels, helping the company refine the bagels to perfection. “We hope our fans and new customers alike enjoy the new halos as much as we do.”
