I keep a loaf of sprouted Ezekiel bread in the freezer for non-paleo
friends/relatives. When my weight slips below 100, I will sometimes have a
slice myself.
I called the phone number listed on the bread package and talked with a very
nice woman who gave me the following info:
o All the graines are sprouted, then mashed, mixed with water and yeast,
then slowly baked at a low temp in small batches. No flour is used.
o Gluten? Yes, in the grains orig. form, but gluten is changed during the
sprouting process. A lot of people w/ celiac can eat it.
o Currently selling only in the U.S., working on dist. in Canada (by this
fall).
The woman I spoke with is putting more info. in the mail for me today and I
should receive it in a few days. If you want to hear more (vit. content,
etc.) let me know.
