What is sprouted grain bread? It is the process of making bread using a unique sprouting process in place of flour to retain all of the nutrition from the sprouted whole grain kernel.
For those who haven’t tried sprouted grain baked goods, here’s your chance: we’re featuring Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery breads and bagels.
Instead of grinding grains into flour, Silver Hills makes their bread and bagels from sprouted organic grains, retaining all of the life-giving nutrition found in the entire living kernel. This means more fibre, more complete nutrition and unique flavours.
This month, we’ve got Silver Hills Organic Herb and Garlic Bagels; and Organic Queen’s Khorasan, Mack’s Flax, Hemptation, The Big 16 and Big Red’s Sprouted Grain Breads. (more…)
