Dierbergs Kitchen Sprouted Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made from sprouted wheat berries. Sprouting is a process where grains are allowed to germinate before being milled into flour or used whole. This process can change the texture and flavor of the bread. The loaf is typically a medium brown color and has a slightly denser crumb than traditional white bread. It is often a good choice for those seeking a different kind of bread experience.
