Food for Life Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Bread Review

Food For Life Ezekiel Bread is an organic, flourless bread inspired by the Holy Scripture verse Ezekiel 4:9, which says, "Take also unto thee Wheat, and Barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and Spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it..."

The ingredients list is very unusual for commercially baked bread. Food For Life Ezekiel Bread is made from organic sprouted wheat, organic sprouted barley, organic sprouted millet, organic sprouted lentils, organic sprouted soybeans, organic sprouted spelt, malted barley, filtered water, yeast, and sea salt. It contains no chemicals, no preservatives, and no added fat. Also, it's a complete protein and has a glycemic index of 36.

You can find Food for Life Ezekiel Bread at organic food stores and co-ops. They may even sell it at your local grocery store, depending on your location. If you live in the Southeast U.S., you'll find it at your local Publix grocery store.

What I don't like
Since it has no preservatives, Food for Life Ezekiel Bread is frozen when it's delivered to the store. So, they usually sell it either frozen or refrigerated. You do have to keep it in the freezer or the fridge at all times. Otherwise, it will go bad rather quickly. It lacks the soft, spongy texture that some people tend to like in sandwich bread. I would like Ezekiel Bread better if it were a little softer. And it can be a little bland if you don't toast it. Also, Food For Life Ezekiel Bread costs more than other breads. The price range is between $3.50 and $5.00 for a 24 oz loaf (for my geographic area). The slices are smaller than most breads, too. They're about half the size of most rye breads.

What I like
I can eat Ezekiel Bread without getting any fluctuations in my blood sugar the way I do after eating regular bread. It's dense, so it fills me up. Two slices toasted is enough for me for breakfast. I like that it has no chemicals or preservatives. And I love that Ezekiel Bread has no flour. Since it isn't as soft as most other sandwich breads, it does hold up well and won't fall apart. Ezekiel Bread is especially good toasted. Toasting it brings out the delicious aromas and flavors of the grains. Everyone at work comments on how good it smells when I'm toasting it. I've been eating Food For Life Ezekiel Bread for several years and have valued its consistency and high quality. I don't mind paying a little bit more to get a high-quality product. I feel good knowing that I'm getting a complete protein and organic grains with no chemicals.

I would recommend Food For Life Ezekiel Bread to anyone who wants to avoid flour or chemicals in their food. It is quite a change for people used to eating Wonder bread or the like. But, knowing that you are getting a nutrient-rich food instead of chemicals and empty calories can make the transition easier.
