“Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself.”
- Ezekiel 4:9
"Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.""
- Genesis 1:29
These are the slogans for Food For Life's Ezekiel Bread products, made with sprouted grains. I recently decided to cut junk food. I used to be very worried about carbohydrates, but after reintroducing whole fruits to my diet, I actually noticed that I was much more satiated when I ate carbs; as long as they were good carbs.
This experience brought me to finding out about Ezekiel Bread, which differs from regular bread in the kinds of grains used to make it. The grains in Ezekiel bread are permitted to germinate, or sprout, which adds a robust nutritional profile to the end product. On top of this, there is also a more diverse selection of grains used in the process, unlike traditional Eurocentric bread, which almost always only uses wheat. Ezekiel Bread uses: wheat, barley, millet, lentils, spelt, and soybeans, making it a much more nutritious choice.
Some of the advantages of Ezekiel bread, as described by manufacturer Food for Life:
While other companies most typically include GMO crops in their breads, Ezekiel Bread does not. The debate about the safety of genetically modified organisms may be far from over, but anyone looking to play it safe until more research has been done can make a safe choice opting for Sprouted Bread, as most brands explicitly and passionately avoid them.
Here are some nutrition facts from Food for Life's products. Other brands are roughly the same, but your results may vary if you check the brands at your supermarket.
