Believed to have originated as the first bread 6,000 years ago it is a bread made with sprouted seeds or grains.  Most are still handmade and are only heated to a maximum of 100C which maintains its nutrients and enzymes.  When wheat or any other seed is sprouted it generally doesn’t produce an allergic reaction.

Enzymes are increased when a grain or legume is spouted as it is a living food, these enzymes can help with digestion and absorption.  Protein, chlorophyll and fibre are increased.  B group vitamins greatly increase some more than ten times, particularly vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin).  Beta-carotene, Vitamin C, E and K increases too.  Mineral content doesn’t increase as much.

Sprouts and sprouted food are good for weight loss as they provide low-calorie, high-nutrient foods and support improved metabolism.

If you do have a sensitivity to most regular breads try Essene bread for something different or even if you are fine with regular bread, why not choose an Essene bread to make sure you are getting a nutrient dense bread that will fill you up for longer!  You will find it in the refrigerated section of your health food store.
