Nutritional Choice of the Month - July 2011:
“Food for Life Sprouted Grain Bread”
I love starting every day off with a delicious and nutritious breakfast. An every day staple in my nutrition plan is a slice or two of Food for Life Ezekial Sprouted Grain Bread. Available at Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s, this product is a great source of fiber and low-glycemic carbohydrates.
According to Food for Life, "the process of germination changes the composition of grains and seeds in numerous ways. Sprouting increases vitamin content. Sprouting neutralizes phytic acid – a substance present in grains – that inhibits absorption of nutrients and more importantly, Sprouting neutralizes or ‘predigests,’ if you will, grains through enzymatic activity. The enzymes produced during the natural sprouting process ‘in effect’ breaks down amino acid protein bonds to promote digestibility of the entire grain.’
As you can see, Ezekiel bread is very nutritionally dense, and it tastes great!
