Concerned about gluten? Our naturopath recently confirmed that the soaking process we use for our bread makes the gluten much easier to digest. Though she often encourages her patients to avoid gluten, she has told many of them that our bread is different - they can eat it freely!
Through the soaking process we use, the complex gluten protein starts to break down into less complex components that are easier to digest (Fallon & Enig, 2001). While gluten is irritating to many people's digestive systems, many people who are sensitive to gluten eat soaked grains without discomfort. Even for people without gluten sensitivities, eating soaked grains is a good way to maintain good health and ensure maximum nutrient absorption.
