Omegamazing is a new sprouted whole wheat loaf by Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery that's made with whole and ground flax and chia seeds. In addition to being rich in texture, this loaf of bread is packed with nutritional benefits from these ingredients and it gets its name from the fact that it offers 400 milligrams of Omega-3 ALAs per slice. Additionally, this nutritious bread boasts four grams of fiber and five grams of protein.
Although omegas are known to support brain, eye, and heart health, omega-rich ingredients are lacking in the standard Western American diet. This heart-healthy bread has the potential to make delicious and nutritious sandwiches and snacks, thanks to two of the best dietary sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.
