Julian Bakery’s Bean Bread is gluten free, sweetened with honey and yeast risen. It is very high in protein and fiber for those wanting to lose a few extra pounds or just wanting to maintain a healthy body.
It is made from fresh, stone ground, whole grains of brown rice, millet, buckwheat, pinto beans, eggs, onions, guar gum, honey, yeast and sea salt.
The difference between brown rice and white rice is not just color. A whole grain of rice has several layers. Only the outermost layer, the hull, is removed to produce what we call brown rice. This process is the least damaging to the nutritional value of the rice and avoids the unnecessary loss of nutrients that occurs with further processing. If brown rice is further milled to remove the bran and most of the germ layer, the result is a whiter rice, but also a rice that has lost many more nutrients. At this point, however, the rice is still unpolished, and it takes polishing to produce the white rice we are used to seeing. Polishing removes the aleurone layer of the grain, a layer filled with health-supportive, essential fats. Because these fats, once exposed to air by the refining process, are highly susceptible to oxidation, this layer is removed to extend the shelf life of the product. The resulting white rice is simply a refined starch that is largely bereft of its original nutrients.
Millets are a group of small-seeded species of cereal crops or grains. As they are not closely related to wheat, they are appropriate for those with wheat intolerances. Millets are a major food source in arid and semi arid regions around the world.
While many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel, making it a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens. Buckwheat flowers are very fragrant and are attractive to bees that use them to produce a special, strongly flavored, dark honey.
Combine the creamy pink texture of pinto beans with a whole grain such as brown rice and you have a virtually fat-free high quality protein meal. Pinto beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, pinto beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains, such as brown rice, pinto beans provide virtually fat-free, high quality protein. But this is far from all pinto beans have to offer. Pinto beans are also an excellent source of molybdenum, a very good source of folate and manganese, and a good source of protein and vitamin B1, as well as the minerals phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium, and copper.
Given the ingredients of Julian Bakery’s Bean Bread, no wonder it is an awesome bread for maintaining a healthy body.
Enjoy, Samantha

Article On Celiacs and Gluten Free Bread
Excerpted from CeliacPlus.com:
Celiac Disease is a digestive disorder. People who have Celiac Disease have problems eating gluten, a protein found in cereal grains, such as wheat, rye, and barley. Flour and other products of wheat also contain gluten. Many soups, sauces, cold cuts, and gravy contain gluten as well, so it's important to read food labels.
When people with Celiac Disease eat gluten, a response is triggered by the body’s immune system that damages the lining of the small intestine. Over time, this interferes with the absorption of nutrients and can lead to a wide range of serious problems. Because of this, people with Celiac Disease must avoid eating anything that contains gluten.
Some of the symptoms of Celiac Disease are like those of many other digestive disorders. For this reason, people with Celiac Disease often go undiagnosed and untreated for many years. It’s estimated that nearly 3 million Americans have the disease, but only about 100,000 are diagnosed. Celiac Disease runs in families and occurs in both children and adults.
Most people with Celiac Disease have one or more of the following symptoms, although some people don’t notice any symptoms. Please confer with your doctor if you have any concerns.
• Intestinal gas, bloating, and abdominal cramping
• Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
• Fatty stools
• Constipation
• Anemia
• Weight loss
• Slowed growth in children
• Osteoporosis (brittle bones)
• Itchy, bumpy skin rash
• Infertility
• Anorexia
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Delayed puberty
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Irritable bowel disorder
For most people, eating a gluten-free diet will stop symptoms, heal existing intestinal damage, and prevent further damage.
How can Julian Bakery help Celiacs? By offering Gluten-Free breads that will round out your diet…no need to sacrifice your bread cravings.
The Bean Bread is sweetened with honey and yeast risen. It is very high in protein and fiber and tastes fantastic.
