Sprouted Grain Breads

Sprouted grain breads are a better, healthier alternative to regular store shelf breads. Most breads found on grocery shelves contain tons of artificial ingredients, are overly processed, and choc full of preservatives to prolong shelf life.  And try to find a loaf of bread at your grocery store that doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup!  Sprouted grain breads do not contain chemical preservatives or additives, and the nutrients and vitamins in sprouted grains are more readily assimilated by the body.  My favorites are made by a company called Food for Life.  The taste and texture of every product I have tried has been exquisite.  From the company website:
Inspired by the Holy Scripture verse Ezekiel 4:9., "Take also unto thee Wheat, and Barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and Spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it..."
Ezekiel 4:9® Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Productsare:
  • Flourless,
  • Organic,
  • Complete Protein,
  • and Sprouted Whole Grain
We discovered when these six grains and legumes are sprouted and combined, an amazing thing happens. A complete protein is created that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. In fact, the protein quality is so high, that it is 84.3% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. There are 18 amino acids present in this unique bread – from all vegetable sources – naturally balanced in nature.
