yes, you can see that in quite a few categories of products:
Canned Tomatoes, 2.5 kg cans available. 500g cans: out.
Pasta, 500g Spaghetti? Forget it. 5kg bulk: Available.
Yeast, regular cubes: no way. Ordering half a kilo of dry yeast: no problem.
It's just that as a regular normal family, 500g of yeast will get you through a year or two, depending on how much you bake (that's about the equivalent of 75 packets of dry yeast) But that stuff is also impossible to repackage into smaller quantities without exposing it to spoilage. There's a few supermarkets in Berlin that sell unpackaged stuff (basically you bring your own reusable container and they fill it for you) and they're well stocked in flour, pasta and stuff since they solve the repackaging issue at the point of sale.
