Ezekiel bread has very little salt, and this is why it tastes bland. There is also a ‘low sodium’ version that actually has no salt at all! Salted butter definitely improves things, but I wish it was made with enough salt to begin with. ---

I also dont like the ezekial bread but found that the same company made sprouted grain english muffins which were pretty good. Now I eat theme every morning for breakfast toasted with peanut butter and strawberries, and some days honey. Just keep experimenting. Tim ---

Although skeptical, I tried some Ezekiel bread. Tastes great to me. I really like it but YMMV. This Ezekiel guy must have been a sharp dude. ---

I mentioned this in another thread, but I’ve taken to pre morning ride snacks of one slice of Ezekiel raisin toast with honey for every 30 min of ride time for interval rides. I don’t do it prior to Carter, etc. Nate suggested this on the podcast, and I love it. ---

Realize this is an old thread, but actually trying to add some healthy breads back into my diet for good carbs - I have bought the Alvarado Street bakery Sprouted wheat a lot and while not some amazing bread, fits the bill in terms of no added sugars, whole grains etc… and I haven’t tried Ezekiel myself, but the first review on Amazon is that it’s the better tasting version for what it’s worth.

I do peanut butter on the cinnamon raisin Ezekiel and I use the Ezekiel cereal in my Greek yogurt. But I definitely couldn’t do them by themselves. ---

Taste of bread depends a lot on the baking process, this is why bread from a bakery nearly always tastes better. It is hard to get the temperature right in a domestic oven. ---

I like Ezekial bread. First, it goes straight into the fridge because I can’t deal with frozen bread in the morning. Second, I always toast it lightly (it’s not good over toasted) and then put butter, jam, or peanut butter on it. To me, Ezekial is just a vehicle for 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and some healthy low glycemic carbs which is good for cycling. 10 years ago I would have thought it was horrible. Now, that I eat a very healthy diet my palate no longer expects sweetness in soft fluffy bread. It took me a while to get to the point where I didn’t need sugar on my oatmeal. ---

I’m surprised to see so many negative comments regarding ezekiel bread. It tastes like regular bread to me, and even my two toddlers (4 yo and 2 yo) like eating it. Edit: I toast the bread. I have never tried it untoasted. ---

I’m another person who considers it a delivery mechanism. DKB or Ezekiel bread get PB and honey. Cereal gets vanilla or chocolate almond milk or a banana/berries. ---

Do some people not realize you can toast frozen bread? Weird. Anyway, I haven’t tried Ezekiel bread yet, but recently started with a Canadian company (which may also be in some US locations, like Costco) that’s doing the sprouted organic whole wheat thing as well and I’ve found it quite good, especially toasted (previously thawed or frozen…) with some PB&J on it. Didn’t like it as much untoasted in a sandwich though. > **[Silver Hills Bakery | Good Things Are Sprouting | Healthy](https://silverhillsbakery.ca)** > > Silver Hills unlocks the power of nutrients, vitamins & minerals.

> [@wyku](#): > > Do some people not realize you can toast frozen bread? That’s how we do bagels at home. Go to the real bagel places (that boil + wood-oven bake them), slice, freeze. Take out, toast, done. Had the Silver Hiils bread, it’s ok, but nothing worth calling home. I get multigrain from the local bakery, and that’s _real_ bread. Meaning it has a crust that makes a “crust” sound. ---

Not sure what you haters are taking about. I love Ezekiel bread and have been eating it for years. Regular bread tastes odd to me. Must be toasted though.
