Country Loaf
Our spring edition country loaf is baked from freshly milled einkorn and sorghum millet. Sorghum has some incredible health benefits: The bran of sorghum, rich in tannin, secretes enzymes that have the ability to reduce the absorption of sugar and starch in the body. Sorghum thus regulates the glucose levels and insulin sensitivity in the body. Besides these, high on fibre, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and folate jowar delays gastric emptying, slows the release and absorption of glucose in the bloodstream and averts blood sugar spikes. The result is a lighter 1.5 pound loaf which is absolutely delicious. According to Ayurveda:
- Freshly ground wheat is sattvic (wholesome, pure, conducive to mental and spiritual clarity)
- It is particularly nourishing to vata and pitta types
- The fresh grind maximizes the prana in the bread
- It is totally delicious 😉
Why this bread is different
The first thing you'll notice is the actual physical weight of this bread. This is a direct testament to the nutritional density that is packed into all our baked goods. Our process of grounding whole ancient grains just before baking, preserves the full spectrum of nutrients, flavor, and vitality.
Did you know?
The "100% whole wheat" you see on nutrition labels is processed, denatured, heat treated and stripped of nutrients. 100% whole wheat is a "legal definition" defined as an "end product that must resemble the original product." According to the FDA, wheat which has had the bran and germ removed, been heat treated and chemically processed, and then had riboflavin and niacin added back in "resembles the original product."
