About Us

The Sprouted Grain Bakery was established in late 2005 to manufacture a range of breads made from organic whole grain.

The sprouted grain method allows us to avoid flour and replace it with the whole grain. This process took a number of years to develop and is the first of its kind in Australia.

As we researched and developed our initial range of breads we set about defining what we were trying to achieve. That is what is our reason and purpose.

These we define in our philosophy:

Our bakeries philosophy requires us to:

• Make bread without using flour

  Flour is highly processed and the heat used in milling destroys a lot of the nutrients and vitamins. Flour also has most of the germ and bran removed. Flour is used for convenience and ease of processing.

• Use certified organic ingredients

  Certified organic ingredients are chemical and pesticide free.
  This is healthier for you and better for the environment.

• Provide the nutritional benefit of sprouted whole grain

  Scientific evidence suggests that a diet high in whole grains may reduce the chances of heart disease, bowel disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. By sprouting the whole grain we also enhance the vitamin and mineral content of the bread.

• Keep our products as simple and natural as possible

  Too much of our food is highly processed and contains unnecessary additives. Our philosophy requires we keep the ingredients and bread making process as simple and natural as possible.

• Bake bread that contributes to your health and well being

  If you consume bread as a part of a well balanced diet the bread should contribute to your health and well being. All of our ingredients are chosen carefully to help achieve this result.

• Ensure our products look good and taste delicious

  Our breads are light in texture, golden brown and each variety is deliciously different.

Our philosophical points are important to us as they define our reason and purpose. In a sense they act as guidelines and provide us with boundaries.
