Whole Foods Organic 12 Seed and Grain Bread Review

Without question, one of the best offerings by Whole Foods is its fresh baked in-house organic breads. Whole Foods Organic 12 Seed & Grain Bread is no exception. Whole Foods has several other great organic offerings, but it's the bread that's hands down the best food they offer.

The first place I hit when I visit the Whole Foods located in Union Square, NYC, is the bread racks just several paces in on the left after you walk in to the store. Once you've happened into the store right after the organic bread has finished baking, and only just has been placed on the bread racks, it's what you hope will happen again and again every time you walk into the store.

Fresh baked, warm bread takes me back to New Orleans as a child with mother, and when she used to ask one of us boys to go see if the po-boy loaves were out yet. Because if they were, that meant they were hot and fresh, and also meant more than likely we all, mother included, were going to munch on it while makin' groceries. Now, I munch on Whole Foods organic breads when I go shopping there. Let me tell you about its Organic 12 Seed & Grain Bread.

It's shaped in the fashion of the traditional artisan loaf, and about four to five inches high by about eight inches wide by about nine or ten inches long. I don't know about you, but there's just something special about eating bread that is shaped in the traditional artisan loaf, more so than eating bread from, say, a regular pan baked shape.

The bread's aroma lingers, no, persists in attracting you, well beyond when it first comes right out of the oven at Whole Foods. At any given time, on any given day, my family can catch me breaking out the bread and breathing it in before I prepare it or use it in some preparation. In fact, for years now, the lil' lady will give it a good smell. Something she used to not do, until one day it clicked to her, "bread smells so good." Even my toddler daughter is into smelling bread, now. She has to get a whiff of it right along with Da-da when she sees me taking a deep breath of it.

It would be difficult to describe the great taste of this Whole Foods bread. Suffice it to say, it's great! The crust is thick and just as delicious as the crumb of the bread. In fact, it's thick enough so as to keep the soft interior fresh longer. While we're on the interior of the bread, here's the ingredients for Whole Foods Organic 12 Seed & Grain Bread.

Ingredients: Organic unbleached unbromated wheat flour, filtered water, organic seven grain cereal (cracked wheat, cracked rye, barley, corn, oats, millet, flax seed), organic tahini, organic wheat gluten, organic pumpkin seeds organic rice flour, organic sunflower seeds, sea salt, organic sesame seeds, organic whole wheat flour, organic corn meal, ascorbic acid.

Everything but the kitchen sink is in it, eh! All of that is hand shaped into about a pound and a half traditional artisan loaf, which costs right under four dollars. That's what I really like about the bread, too-the price! Comparatively, that's a steal. Not only is that a great price compared to similar breads offered in Whole Foods and elsewhere, but that prices is as cheap as a great many inferior breads anywhere.

If the price, ingredients, taste, and effort to describe the aroma don't move you to want to give Whole Foods Organic 12 Seed & Grain Bread a try, more than likely you're not a true bread-lover.
