Thursday's Bread pick: Carrot Raisin Manna Bread


This is another bread from the freezer section. However unlike the Ezekiel loaf this one is not sliced.

I chose this bread because it had the fewest ingredients of all the loaves I looked at! 

Sprouted wheat kernels
Filtered water 
Carrots
Raisins

No salt, leavening, yeast, oil or sweeteners.



Pretty amazing! But does it taste good?

The instructions say to store frozen or refrigerated, to slice either thaw or dip a serrated knife into water and use a gentle sawing motion. 

To avoid cutting any fingers off I chose to thaw in the fridge over night. This made cutting a breeze! 

The slices were pretty small so I had two.


It actually toasted up quite nice and I just used a bit of butter on this bread rather than my usual peanut butter. 

Now for the taste test.... I have to say I enjoyed it, however there wasn't much depth of flavour. When first you bit into it the flavour is good but it kind of fell flat after that. 

But for a loaf with very few ingredients I was impressed! 

Not sure I would buy this one again but you never know!

Last up I'm reviewing Flourless Sprouted Whole Grain Ezekiel Muffins.  These are an english muffin with MUCH better ingredients in them, see what I think of them here!

Tuesday's Bread Pick: Ezekiel 4:9 from the freezer section


Here is my review of Ezekiel 4:9 100% sprouted whole grain loaf.  

I chose this bread from the freezer section because after doing some reading on the benefits of sprouted bread and beans I thought I'd give it a try! It also had a very clean ingredients list! 

Organic sprouted whole grain wheat
Filtered water
Organic sprouted whole grain barley
Organic whole grain millet
Organic malted barley
Organic sprouted whole lentils
Organic sprouted whole soybeans
Organic sprouted whole grain spelt
Fresh yeast
Organic wheat gluten
Sea salt

Now this bread came from the frozen section so I wasn't sure how it would toast but surprisingly it was quite soft!

I did have a bit of trouble separating two pieces of bread and ended up taking a chunk off one piece trying to do so! But the next piece I tried to pry away from the loaf came off easily.

The toast on it's own had a nice flavour and it was quite soft too!

I'd certainly purchase this bread again!!
