Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread for Kids
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made from sprouted whole wheat flour. Sprouting is a process where grains are allowed to germinate before being milled into flour. This method is believed to alter the grain's composition. The bread is often softer and has a slightly different texture than bread made from unsprouted flour. It is designed to be appealing to children.

This bread is ready to eat straight from the package. It is excellent for making sandwiches with your favorite fillings. You can also toast slices for a warm and satisfying breakfast. For a sweet treat, try making French toast by dipping slices in an egg mixture and cooking them on a griddle. It can also be cubed and baked to create crispy croutons for salads or soups.
