Sprouted grain bread

Today I want to share a product with you which I have been relishing for a few years now. It is healthy, tastes wholesome and it is very easy to digest. It is Sprouted Grain Bread!

Why Sprouted Grain Bread? Before I answer that question, I would have to answer another question: What is Sprouting?

According to Wikipidea, Sprouting is the practice of soaking, draining and then rinsing seeds at regular intervals until they germinate, or sprout.

But what are the health benefits to eating grains that are sprouted or germinated? When you sprout a grain, seed or a nut it unlocks the dormant enzymes in it making the grain a source of energy and very easily digestible. When we consume this food, it makes digestion easy which results in food giving us energy instead of food taking up energy from our body for digestion. When we have enzyme rich foods, our body is supplied with the required enzymes to digest food thus saving us a lot of energy. When the digestive enzymes in our bodies get depleted, the body reaches out to for metabolic enzymes as a source of enzymes for digestion. This is the reason why we can feel fatigued after eating foods that are difficult to digest.

Going back to Sprouted Grain Bread, the brand that I recommend is Food for Life, you can read all about it on their website www.foodforlife.com. I enjoy all kinds of breads made by them, the bread loaves come in different kinds like 7 grain, Cinnamon Raisin, Sesame, etc. You can also try their buns, English muffins, bagels or tortillas. They simply taste wholesome and feel so good in my stomach.

Get some vegan butter (more about it next time) and spread it on that Sprouted Grain Bread and enjoy!!
