Soy-Free Whole Grain Bread

Image

We found another soy-free bread choice at Costco.  It’s a nice multi-grain organic wheat bread.  It is not gluten free, by any means but a good basic bread.

Ingredients:  organic whole grain wheat flour, organic wheat flour, water, organic honey, organic oat bran, organic oats, organic sunflower seeds, organic flaxseed, organic cultured wheat flour, organic vinegar, sea salt, yeast, natural enzymes.

I was a little concerned about the “cultured wheat flour” so here is a description I found for it:

Cultured whole wheat is created by combining whole wheat flour and distilled vinegar and then dehydrating this mixture back to flour form. This process is proprietary, but the only ingredients are whole wheat flour, distilled vinegar and water.

I also saw something that talked about using yogurt cultures in this process, so if you are sensitive to dairy, perhaps this would be something to avoid.

Happy, healthy eating.
