It contains a significant amount of sugar, traditionally added as nib sugar, though sometimes sugar cubes are used. [2] While eaten throughout the Netherlands and Belgium, [3] it is especially associated with Friesland. [4] Suikerbrood is usually flavored with cinnamon [5] and sometimes with ginger.
