AMAZING 12-GRAIN SANDWICH BREAD

Julian Bakery’s 12-Grain Sandwich Bread is a delicious dark molasses sweetened bread that has more grains and seeds than you will find anywhere.

It is made with fresh stone ground, whole grain wheat, Kamut®, millet, corn, rye, oats, barley, brown rice, quinoa, amaranth, spelt, flax seed, unsulphered molasses, yeast & sea salt.

Whole Grains or foods made from them contain all essential parts and naturally occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed. If the grain has been processed (cracked, crushed, rolled, extruded, and/or cooked), the food product should deliver approximately the same rich balance of nutrients that are found in the original grain seed.

Wheat is any of various annual cereal grasses of the genus Triticum of the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia, ground to produce flour used in breadstuffs and pasta.

Kamut®, the Ancient Grain, is a relative of modern Durum Wheat. Kamut® has a rich, buttery flavor and is higher in protein and many minerals (especially selenium, zinc, and magnesium) than other wheat products. It is easily digestible.

Millets are a group of small-seeded species of cereal crops or grains. As they are not closely related to wheat, they are appropriate for those with wheat intolerances.

Rye is a grass grown as a grain. It is closely related to barley and wheat. Rye has lower gluten content than wheat flour and contains a higher proportion of soluble fiber.

Oat is a species of cereal grains. It is rolled or crushed into oatmeal or ground into fine oat flour. It contains more soluble fiber than any other grain.

Quinoa is a species of goosefoot (chenopodium) and is a grain-like crop grown for its seeds. It is not a true cereal or grain, as it is not a grass. Quinoa is closely related to beets, spinach and tumbleweeds. Quinoa is highly valued for its protein content, making it a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans. It is a good source of fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. It is gluten-free and easy to digest.

Amaranth is related to the pigweed or lamb’s quarters. Amaranth seeds contain protein that is unusually complex for plant sources. Several studies have shown that Amaranth seed or oil may be of benefit for those with cardio vascular disease and hypertension. Regular consumption may reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while improving antioxidants.

Spelt is a nutritious ancient grain with a nut-like flavor. The texture is slightly crunchy. Spelt is an excellent source of vitamin B2, a very good source of manganese and a good source of niacin, thiamin and copper.

Flax Seeds contain high amounts of Lignans (a group of chemical compounds) and omega 3 fatty acids. Flax may also help the severity of diabetes by stabilizing levels of blood sugar.

12-Grain Sandwich Bread is a complete protein bread that makes incredible sandwiches. Men especially like this bread.
