Because they can be consumed raw at certain stages. I said "possible
exception" because it IS a nit-picky topic. Personally, I don't avoid
these
at all costs. That's just me.

Ezekiel breads and sprouted breads are not one in the same. An Ezekiel
bread
follows this recipe, from Ezekiel 4:9 "And you, take wheat and barley,
beans
and lentils, millet and spelt, and put them into a single vessel, and
make
bread of them. During the number of days that you lie upon your side,
three
hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it." An Ezekiel bread is not
neccesarily sprouted, it's important to read the label carefully.
