Stick to oats, sweet potatoes and brown/wild rice. Preferably organic.

Calroies are bad. there is nothing magic about oats or sweetpotatoes.

Sprouted grains are no different than anything else.

Don't say stupid things. It gives me a headache.

I just got some sprouted grain bread. Can anyone tell me how long this stuff will last once you thaw it out?

just keep it in the fridge. Because it is sprouted, it has not be processed like other breads, so it will go rancid much faster. In the fridge, I can keep it for about 8-10 days.

Do they sell sprouted bread at normal grocery stores, or do you usually have to go to a special place to find it? If they carry it at normal stores, what brands are there?

depends. at the normal grocery stores the do sell it.

You have to look for it in the freezer section. As I said, it goes rancid quickly so that is how they have to store it.

^ Whole grain breads are still processed are they not?

how are whole wheat multi-grain breads bad for you?

They are fairly high glycemic as far as I know... Depending on how much you eat and when that can have negative effects on insulin release... You can't really just say, "it's bad for you." It depends on other factors.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Whole grain is just that whole grain. It contains all three parts....the germ, the endosperm and the bran. Refined or processed breads contain only the endosperm. Unfortunatly, most of the benefits lie in the germ and the bran as far as minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and fiber are concerned.

You need to read the ingredients. Things that say "whole grain" or "whole wheat" are not going to be processed. However, wheat flour is procssed. You need to make sure that the product is completely whole grain and not just made with some whole grain materials and then additional processing.

That's what I thought... Many breads that claim 100% Whole Wheat or Whole Grain on the package aren't when you look at the ingredients. Most of them keep 2 weeks without even being refrigerated.

usually if it says 100% whole grain you should be good to go.

100% whole wheat could mean anything these days.

Sprouted is the only bread I eat.

You had me double guessing myself this afternoon. The bread I buy is made from organic whole sprouted wheat, raisin jice, sesame seeds, water, sunflower seeds, wheat gluten, malt, yeast, sea salt.

Would whole sprouted wheat be considered 100% whole grain or 100% whole wheat?

100% whole grains.

if it is sprouted it means that the seeds were sprouted in water, mashed together and then baked like that. there was no processing involved. sprouted is awesome bread. it is in the freezer section because it has nothing added to it, so it would go rancid quicker if left out. keep it in the fridge.

It's good stuff. I just switched to it. I just take what I need out of the freezer for that day.

Does it taste the same?

I get Nature's Way Whole Grain breads. Wait no, actually I have a Pepperage Farms Whole Grain right now.

In any case, what ingredients should I look at to know its been tampered with?

tastes a little different.

Looks for 100% whole grain or wholemeal flour.

if it says wheat flour it has probably been processed and had molassess added to make it look brown.

Also, there are going to be things like high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils in the stuff bought on the shelf (not in the freezer section) to help keep them from going rancid. If that is an issue for you, you might want to steer away from them.

Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Bread is the shit. At first it was a weird flavor and I was iffy about it, but now that I'm eating the semi-regular supermarket stuff I miss the flavor so much. Just sucks that it needs to be frozen, so hard to keep more than 1 pack and the place is a 20m drive.
