Sprouts
Oasis
Bakery began producing flourless sprouted breads over 25 years
ago after learning of the nutritional claims boasted of sprouts.
The nourishing properties are amazing; they have the most
nutrients per unit of any food known to man.
We
also learned that sprouts are more easily digested than whole
grains or flour—even by people sensitive to wheat. This
is most likely due to the enzymes and amino acids created
by the sprouting process; this produces dissolvable compounds
out of insoluble oils and turns whole grains into a complete
protein food.
To
throw some numbers at you, let’s look at wheat: wheat
berries contain forty of the forty-four essential nutrients
known to man, and only about 5% of wheat’s calories
come from fat. When a grain of wheat is sprouted, it retains
all the nutrients of the wheat berry, but it becomes a new
life. Sprouted bread are digested as a vegetable rather than
a starch. Sprouted grain breads are high in fiber since they
contain all the bran and germ of the entire wheat kernel.
When
wheat is not sprouted, but is milled into flour and refined,
twenty-two vitamins and minerals are reduced by forty to seventy
percent, and only seven percent of the fiber is left intact.
Enriched flour is actually flour that has been stripped of
these twenty-two valuable vitamins and minerals and then—to
"enrich" the flour—only eight nutrients are
added back. For a higher nutrient bread, please look into
our organic sprouted Kamut® bread.
Today
we use organic whole wheat grains in all of our sprouted products
to ensure the highest quality and the best-tasting bread available.
Through
all these numbers and facts, we have not forgotten that most
people do not eat food solely based upon the factual benefits
they provide; to that end, rest assured that Oasis Sprouted
Flourless breads are the most delicious on the market. Enjoy
them toasted in the morning, or make a sandwich with the rich,
chewy texture of Oasis Bakery’s flourless sprouted bread
