Ezekiel bread
Ancient grain bread
Ezekiel bread is a type of bread made from sprouted whole grains and legumes—typically wheat, barley, millet, spelt, lentils, and soybeans—following a recipe inspired by a passage in the biblical book of Ezekiel.
The sprouting process is said to increase nutrient availability.
The bread is dense, slightly sweet, and popular among health-conscious consumers: I switched to Ezekiel bread for the extra protein.
