In Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Bread

If you have never tried this bread I strongly suggest you do. Let's do a comparison.
I went with Nature's Own Whole Wheat bread (just choosing a popular brand) and compared it to Ezekiel's Whole Wheat.

Brand	Nature’s Own	Ezekiel
Calories	50	80
Fat	1g	.5g
Carbs	10g	15g
Sugar	1g	0g
Fiber	2g	3g
Protein	4g	4g

From this it appears that Nature's Own might be the better choice because it is lower in overall calories but looking at the ingredients may change your mind.
The first couple of ingredients I actually recognize but then by ingredient 8 you get to Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate. What is this you ask? It is a dough conditioner to make the gluten in the bread stronger and increases the volume of the loaf. So it looks like you are getting a lot of bread but this filler does not fill you up at all. It's also used as a fat replacer, sugar replacer, and shelf life enhancer all to cut down on production costs. So really, it would appear the company is more concerned about operational spending rather than producing something good for us. Also, SSL is used as as an emulsifier basically meaning it takes oil and water and makes a mixture.
Some other ingredients include monoglycerides, calcium iodate, ethoxylated mono and diglycerides, calcium peroxide, datem, azodicarbonamide, calcium suflate, monocalcium phosphate, and soy lecithin. =What??

Let's delve into Ezekiel's ingredients, ready?
Organic sprouted whole wheat, filtered water, organic malted (dried) barely, organic sprouted whole millet (small seeded species), organic sprouted whole barely, organic sprouted whole lentils, organic sprouted whole soybeans, organic sprouted whole spelt (wheat species), fresh yeast, and sea salt. Pure goodness.

This bread is not only made with ingredients I know (and can fully pronounce) but this is one of the most filling breads I have ever eaten. This coming from a girl who could eat bread all day every day. My theory: while we all love to pig out on things that aren't good for us (guilty), at the end of the day I want to know I am fueling my body well. I make it a priority to know what these foods are and among them I have found Ezekiel. I should tell you, that you will find this amazing bread in the frozen food section near the vegetarian products (Boca burgers, MorningStar, and Annie's). Also this bread does run on the more expensive side ($4-5/loaf compared to $2-$3 of the regular stuff) but in my opinion it is worth the extra few dollars to know I am fueling my body well.

Thanks for reading :-)
