Ezekiel Bread

We love this bread for so many reasons. It is so good and good for you to name a few.
This wonderful bread comes from Ezekiel 4:9 in the bible and it is often called a fasting bread because Ezekiel survived on just this bread and water for 390 days. This is a very nutritious bread and the combination of beans and lentils forms a complete protein. I found this explanation on the food for life website, they make a frozen version of Ezekiel bread.

A complete protein is created that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. In fact, the protein quality is so high, that it is 84.3% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. There are 18 amino acids present in this unique bread – from all vegetable sources – naturally balanced in nature . Made from organically grown grains, is naturally flavorful and bursting with nutrients. Rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and natural fiber with no added fat.
