Essene HealthBread info and pictures
 

Finally! A tasty, 100% sprouted certified organic grain bread, made without flour, yeast,or salt. Available breads are WHEAT, SPELT, KAMUT, and RYE (see below for more information on each grain). Sprouted breads are the staff of life for your nutritional support. You get plenty of protein while consuming fewer calories, very little fat, and no pesticide residues or chemical additives.

This extremely nutritious bread is lovingly made by hand and slowly heated at a low temperature. The inside temperature of the bread doesn’t exceed 100 degrees, thus maintaining the needed enzymes for digestion. It contains much of the goodness of the sprouts themselves – low in fat, abundant in protein, natural sugars, fiber, vitamins and minerals, all made very digestible by the presence of numerous enzymes in the sprouts.

These two practices of sprouting and a low baking temperature insure the maximum possible vitamin content for this bread. The sweetness is produced naturally during the sprouting process. The sprouting also breaks down the lectins and other substances that some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to. Sprouted grains encourage the growth of good bacteria, help to keep the colon clean, and are high in protective antioxidants. Sprouts, as well as being very digestible, are a good source of fibre and protein, and are high in vitamins and minerals.

Every seed that is sprouted to make Essene Health Bread is soaked in OceanGrown’s “OceanSolution”. “OceanSolution” contains over 90 minerals in nature’s perfect balance to give your bread the best spark of life and the most nutrient density that nature will allow.

Enjoy your bread plain, with almond (or any nut) butter, honey, coconut butter, or dipped in organic olive oil and sea salt.

This bread may be suitable for people who are allergic to flour, wheat, or yeast because the grain has been sprouted and not ground into flour. During the sprouting process, starches convert to sugars, proteins to amino acids, and fats into essential fatty acids.

It is as near to being a ‘raw’ bread as is possible.

Your Essene Health Bread may be kept unrefrigerated for 3 to 4 days (my bread can last 8 days in a sealed container), or refrigerate for up to 4 weeks. You can also freeze it for months! (If freezing, you might wish to pre-cut the bread.)

Wheat Essene Health Bread
”And let your daily bread be made of wheat, that the Lord may take care of your bodies.”
The Essene Gospel of Peace

Wheat Essene Health Bread has a sweet, nutty-rich flavour (when the berries are sprouted, the starches in the grains are converted to sugars). We use only certified organic wheat berries. After three days of sprouting, the Vitamin B-12 content has quadrupled to around 54 milligrams per 100 grams (versus just 1 milligram in white bread), other B Vitamins have increased 3 to 12 times, the Vitamin E content has tripled, and minerals are freed up for easy assimilation.

You will enjoy better digestion because of the abundance of enzymes, and the fiber will aid regularity.

Spelt Essene Health Bread

With its rich, nutty taste, sprouted spelt is extremely easy to digest. Although spelt is related to wheat, it does contain less gluten (see FAQ for more on gluten) … but because the grain has been sprouted, even the most wheat-sensitive person usually can tolerate spelt. Also, because spelt is highly water soluble, the body can easily absorb its nutrients. A sweet spread such as apple or almond butter will compliment this bread well!

Kamut Essene Health Bread

Used by the Egyptians for centuries, kamut’s full, nutty flavour melts in your mouth. Kamut Essene Health Bread has a distinctive, mild, sweet taste with a hint of nuts and a remarkable sunny yellow colour. Kamut is unusually high in lipids, giving it a beautiful, buttery taste. Because kamut grain is higher in lipids and protein than common wheat, it is said to be "high energy". Its superior nutrition makes kamut grain an ideal training and endurance food. And because kamut is an ancient grain that has not been hybridized, it is higher in Vitamin E and eight of the nine minerals usually found in wheat, as well as containing up to 65% more amino acids than other grains.

Many people I know love to spread coconut butter on this bread for a superior taste experience.

”Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also … Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also.”
