White bread is similar to whole grain bread. The grain is processed, the only difference is that the hard, outer portion of the grain is stripped, removing fiber and many vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats that are naturally present. The remaining portion is ground to a fine powder,and mixed with vitamins and minerals. It is then used to bake the bread.

Sprouted Grain Bread

A bread which is growing in popularity in the recent years. Sprouted grain bread is made by soaking the grain and allowing it to sprout. The sprouted seedlings are mashed and baked together. Sprouting allows the enzymes in the grain to convert some of the carbohydrates and fats to vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Sprouted grain bread is higher in protein, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals than regular bread. It is also less refined and processed and has less effect on the body's blood sugar.
