Scandinavian baked goods from Parchment, a Troy-based bakery, had been available only at farmers markets since the company’s founding last year, but as of next week (3/9) will also be sold at Honest Weight Food Co-Op in Albany.
Parchment items at Honest Weight will include regular and seeded varieties of a dense and tangy sourdough rye called

kardemummabullar, in traditional, chocolate and almond varieties.
Honest Weight, at 100 Watervliet Ave., is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
