WHAT IS EZEKIEL BREAD?

Ezekiel bread is another name for a type of bread known as “sprouted grain”. It’s made from a combination of organic whole grains including wheat, millet, barley, spelt, and legumes such as soybeans and lentils but contains no flour. It’s gained massively popularity because it’s much higher in nutrients and processed less than most other breads. Here are some other reasons this type of bread is great:

🍞Higher in protein - 4g per slice, which is double the amount of white bread

🍞Complete source of plant-based protein - this means it has all the essential amino acids your body needs but contains no eggs or dairy

🍞High in fiber - 3g per slice compared to 0.7g found in white bread

🍞No added sugars, preservatives, or artificial ingredients - there’s nothing in the ingredients list you can’t pronounce

🍞Easier to digest - the sprouting process of the grains makes it easier for your body to process them and increases the absorption of their nutrients

🍞Low-glycemic - it’s been awarded the Diabetic Friendly Seal by The Glycemic Research Institute and doesn’t cause the sugar spike that most breads do

🍞More satisfying - the high amounts of fiber make this bread more satisfying per slice

Just remember that while Ezekiel/sprouted grain bread is more nutritious than other types of bread, it still contains carbs and calories and needs to be balanced with other whole foods.
