Awareness of the harmful effects of wheat has increased quite a bit in the past few years.
Given that wheat is a large part of most people’s diets, many are looking for healthy alternatives.
Several people have asked me about Ezekiel bread, which is different from most other types of bread.
What is Ezekiel Bread?
Ezekiel bread is different for several reasons.Whereas most breads contain added sugar, Ezekiel bread contains none.
It is also made from organic, sprouted whole grains. The sprouting process changes the nutrient composition of the grains significantly.
In contrast to most commercial breads, which consist primarily of refined wheat or pulverized whole wheat, Ezekiel bread contains several different types of grains and legumes:
- 4 types of cereal grains: Wheat, Millet, Barley and Spelt.
- 2 types of legumes: Soybeans and Lentils.
All the grains and all the legumes are organically grown and allowed to sprout before they are processed, mixed together and baked to produce the final product.
I’d like to point out that wheat, barley and spelt all contain gluten, so Ezekiel bread is out of the question for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
There are many types of Ezekiel Bread and you will find it in the frozen section of the grocery store. I do know Wal-mart does not carry it here locally. You will keep it frozen due to the sprouting.
