Ezekial Bread Anyone?
Hi Girls. After talking with my RE today, she recommends that I start eating this Ezekial Bread. It is found in the freezer section because it has no preservatives or chemicals. The bread is recommended for us because it has a low GI response (37) for a bread. It is also a complete protein. I was wondering if any of you have tried it and what your thoughts are. I have been scouring the net and have found some info, however, a lot of it is religious disagreements that really do not discuss the actual taste of the product. Thanks!

I really like Ezekial bread and if you have a Trader Joe's near you, they have their own version. There is another similar brand called California something... can't remember the name.
Basically 'sprouted grain' breads are all we are eating right now. Of course if you are used to wonder bread then Ezekial may not be for you. Also, I am a bread lover but I very rarely eat bread. I just rather eat other things for the most part.

It is about like a good hearty whole grain as far as texture and taste, at least that is how I found it to be. I try not to toast it because it gets really hard and dry when I do. Not too bad, IMO.

Yes, my mom is diabetic and it was recommended for her. Even 1 slice of whole wheat would make her bsg soar, but she can have a sandwich with Ezekiel break and it stays relatively low. She still can't overdo it, though. It is really expensive compared to "normal" bread, but I am thinking of switching too because I have PCOS/Insulin resistance.
They make cereal too!

The Trader Joe's version is about $3/loaf which is a pretty normal price.

I don't like the smell of it. The health food store lady told me it is the spelt in it. I don't know, but if I don't smell it, it taste ok. Ezekiel bread makes alot of other products, such as wraps, raisin bread, etc.

I like it . It has kind of a nutty flavour too. And it is very filling.

This bread quickly became the only bread I will eat. I love the sesame kind. If you aren't sure you like the taste, try it toasted! Toasting definitely brings out the flavor.
It is much denser than the fluffy white bread I grew up on, but now I find that I prefer it. It's much more filling.

I just recently tried the actual Ezekial brand bread in the raisin kind...I used it for breakfast with some almond butter. I thought it tasted fine. It's not really available in my area...I had to go to a grocery store a little far and they just had a couple of the breads... I wanted to try the wraps and english muffins.
There are other sprouted grain breads in another store here..I don't remember the name, but there is tiger/cat on the package, I think the Ezekial tasted better.
