Many gluten free breads on the market today are so full of dangerous additives, preservatives and colourants (to name a few), and are so overheated during the cooking process – it means that avoiding gluten is not the only thing we should be worrying about when choosing a bread.
I live a gluten and dairy free lifestyle and have done for about 3years. I have found many challenges along the way with this lifestyle, not only with trying to ensure these ingredients are not in the food items I buy, but ensuring I am actually getting a healthy gluten and dairy free food item at that.
The gluten free breads I have tried on the UK market, have been quite bland and always full of nonsense ingredients that take away the healthy aspect of them. I prefer ingredients in my products that I can read and understand easily for starters! Many of the gluten free breads also contain sugar, damaged fats, yeast and raising agents – all of these ingredients have been linked to causing many health problems including allergies and diabetes when consumed on a regular basis.
So feeling disheartened about my bread scenario I was about to give up hope, thinking that my only option for gluten free bread was the over cooked stodge variety! This was until I discovered Living Raw Onion Bread in a health store in Wimbledon towards the end of last year. I could not believe my eyes – a gluten and dairy free RAW bread? with only 5 ingredients? all of which I could read and understand very clearly?! Yes my dreams had come true!
Raw food you see is never cooked above 40 degrees centigrade, and this therefore preserves most of the nutrients compared to cooking the hell out of food at extremely high temperatures. So not only could I eat a gluten free bread that was good for me, once I had got my prized bread home – I found out I could enjoy a tasty bread at that!
So I am pleased to announce you can now enjoy these delicious pre-sprouted, living breads too as we are now stocking them in our online shop! We have got two varieties in stock: Living Raw Onion Bread (2 slice pack), and Living Raw Date Bread (4 slice pack).
