Hi Katia! Check out the label; its very high in protein & fiber. That's what you want in a bread substance. Kathy

Seems like I remember it is something to do with the fact that it is "sprouted wheat" which is not as processed as regular whole wheat flour.

If it's from sprouted grains (it is, isn't it?) then it is not only whole, but has developed some enzymes that help with digestion, and some nutrients (I don't remember which) are increased with sproutiing.

Awsome! Sounds exactly what I need (the enzymes)
How is Ezekiel bread when it comes to taste? Is it any good?

Thanks

Mmm, it is delicious! My favorite is the cinnamon raison Ezekial bread. It's really filling too.

Do you find Ezekiel bread with the other bread, or is it refrigerated?
Is Ezekiel a 'type' of bread or a brand name? Are there multiple brands of this bread?

Thanks.

 

[Jeren]

Ezekiel is the brand name. My supermarket keeps it in the frozen food section.

Hi Katia:

Thanks for the info!! I'll have to check and see if our local grocer carries it! Take care, Lynn

I agree with the comments that Ezekiel bread is much better toasted. I love to toast it and top it with either peanutbutter or a slice of cheddar cheese.
