Why Ezekiel Bread is Healthy!

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.

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 sprouts before they are processed, mixed together and baked to produce the final product.

 How Sprouting Increases Nutrients
Due to the sprouting process, Ezekiel bread may contain more of some vital nutrients. Some studies show that sprouting grains increases their content of the amino acid lysine .

Lysine is the limiting amino acid in many plants. The sprouting increases the efficiency that the proteins in the grain can be used for in structural and functional purposes in the human body.

Also, combining the grains (wheat, millet, barley and spelt) with the legumes (soybeans and lentils) may increase the protein quality somewhat.

Studies also show that sprouting wheat may lead to significant increases in soluble fiber, folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene.

Sprouting also partially breaks down the starch, because the seed uses the energy in the starch to fuel the sprouting process. For this reason, sprouted grains have slightly less carbohydrate.

Thus, because of the sprouting of the seeds, Ezekiel bread should definitely be more nutritious than most other types of bread.

If you’re not gluten sensitive, Ezekiel bread can be a healthier choice.

It is certainly a whole lot better than 99% of the breads on store shelves which are mostly made from refined wheat and usually contain lots of sugar.
