Ezekiel Bread
Sorry, I thought that was funny. My mom has been using this bread for over a year now. She loves it. It's rather expensive I think. I've never tried it. I think because it's not "real", isn't it like soy or something? Anyway she does the cinnamon raisen one. Thanks for the warning. I surely wont try it now.

Ezekiel 4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof...
Made from 100% sprouted certified organically grown grains, beans and seeds, with absolutely no added oil, shortening, butter, and no trans fats! Contains no flour. Preserves valuable nutrients and retains the important natural fiber and bran.
Ezekiel is in fact a brand name for a sprouted bread product. It is yeasted, in addition to containing malted (non-sprouted) barley and other illegals. All Ezekiel breads contain these. There's another brand called Manna that is just the sprouted grain, but it's truly ghastly. Looks like a rock and is so heavy you could practically bowl with it.
According to some, Sprouting is the only way to release all the vital nutrients stored in whole grains. The sprouting process activates beneficial enzymes which cause the grains to sprout and become living, nutrient-rich, food. Document stores of vitamins and minerals dramatically increases over the amount available in flour.
Sprouting also converts the carbohydrates in grains into maltose, which is ordinarily done by the body during digestion, thereby predigesting nutrients for you. The enzymatic action enables the body to assimilate the vitamins and minerals more efficiently. Plus, the sprouting process naturally increases the protein content and decreases the calories and carbohydrates found in the original grain. Basically, the enzymes are allowed to do their job before the grains are made into bread. These 100% flourless breads must be baked above 250 degrees Fahrenheit or they would spoil during baking unless they are dehydrated. Although they are slow baked, at temperatures much lower than typical commercial bakeries, they are not considered "raw."
