Sounds good doesn't it.


 Ezekiel bread is one of the most favored breads of mine. I try to limit my bread consumption to just this brand. My reasoning is they way this particular bread is made. Sprouted grains are optimum in getting the full benefits of the whole grains.

*Sprouted grain breads are significantly higher in protein, vitamins and enzymes, and the complex starches are converted into natural sugars.  They are also low GI (Glycemic index:is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels) so they are digested more slowly by the body, keeping the blood sugar levels stable for longer, making people feel more satisfied.  This leads to snacking less.  It is interesting to note that the more highly processed a food is, the higher GI it is.  A loaf of white bread is significantly higher GI than a loaf of sprouted grain bread.



Now you  know why it sounded so good.. Have a blessed day
