No-Yeast and Sprouted Breads

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was looking for information on sprouted breads tonight, and I found this

website:

http://www.frenchmeadow.com/

They use sprouted grains, use no yeast, and have gluten-free varieties.

They sell online, but also have a store-locator link to look for local

stores that carry their products.

In the FAQ section, here's the answer to " Why use no yeast? "

French Meadow was one of the first yeast-free bakeries in the U.S. and

continues their tradition of making all of their delicious, hearth-baked

breads without the help of baker's yeast. This form of baking is

healthier-not only for the large number of people who are allergic to yeast,

but for all of us. One significant health advantage to yeast-free bread is

its value to digestion. While yeasted breads create, over time, an imbalance

in our intestinal flora, yeast-free breads help to preserve that balance.

And, as it contains strains of lactobacillus-an organism important for the

proper digestion of complex carbohydrates-yeast-free bread is easier for our

stomachs to break down and utilize. The natural leavening process is also

beneficial for our bodies. Wheat grain contains phytic acid, a substance

that has been linked to anemia, rickets, and nervous disorders. When bread

is leavened naturally, 100% of the phytic acid is eliminated.

The end result is a delicious loaf, naturally sour, naturally sweet, and

naturally digestible.

....

I also found a neat website that sells sprouted nut products - sprouting

neutralizes the enzyme inhibitors that can cause indigestion in some people.

The Banana Bread Walnutz and Cina-Pecans products look tasty, and healthy.
