The magic of Ezekiel Bread is the sprouted grains. Food for Life says this on their bread package, "We believe in sprouting the grains we use in our bread because sprouting is the best way to release all of the vital nutrients stored in whole grains.”
- Great source of vitamin C, vitamin B, and amino acids
- soaking uncooked grains and seeds so that they "sprout" and are edible, creates amino acids such as Lysine, which fights cancer and heart disease.
- Great source of complete protein. In fact, it’s rated 84.3% efficient as a source of protein-comparable to milk or eggs.
- Because of the unique way it’s made, it’s more digestible than ordinary bread
