2. Organic Sprouted Multigrain Bread
Lancaster Food Co.’s organic, non-GMO, and low-allergen sandwich breads have received the title of “Best Clean Packaged Bread” from Prevention magazine, a leader in nutrition information. Customers love these family-friendly sliced sandwich breads, especially the sprouted multigrain, given its impressive nutritional profile. Before the grains are milled, they’re allowed to sprout, a process which releases many nutrients not otherwise available in regular grain flour. Sprouted grain breads also have the added benefit of being easier to digest.
