A yummy sprouted grain bread (preferably organic)

[Anonymous]

We're ramping up for school, and this year my kids are opting out of the school lunches. I want to use this opportunity to get them on a healthier track, and especially get them onto sprouted grain breads. (although we don't have to be gluten-free)

I'm near a Whole Foods so if I can buy it there, that would be great. I'd prefer to use organic and maybe not purely wheat, but what I'd really like is something that tastes good and holds together---so if you (or your kids) love your (non-organic or non-Whole Foods) bread and it is sprouted grain, then I'd love to know about it.

The other thing is, if the kind you like is frozen, do I bring it home and put it in the fridge or keep it frozen? If I keep it frozen, then how do you make the sandwiches? Do you toast/warm the bread in the morning? If not, won't it soggy up the sandwich by lunchtime?

Thanks in advance, kind food-people!

You don't necessarily go with sprouted if you're looking for fiber, e.g.,:

Thank you, PP. I'm not really looking for a fiber--I just want sprouted grains (we're cutting back on the grains over here, and the sprouted grain is a nice compromise)

However; I'll go check out your links anyways! And if anyone can chime in here on sprouted grain bread, I'd love it!

Ezekiel?

I like Ezekiel's flavor the best out of the popular brands (also available at Trader Joe's if you have one nearby.) I have no issues thawing frozen loaves in the fridge overnight, have never noticed it being soggy. I'd be very hesitant to keep pre-frozen or fresh loaves on the counter for more than a couple of days, they do not have preservatives and can get moldy really quickly in this weather. In the winter a loaf can last longer being out but I find it easier just to keep it in the fridge.
