What is your favourite type of breakfast? Pancake? Prata? Economical fried bee hoon? For me, it's definitely the good-old bread. I would rather skip breakfast if I ran out of bread at home. Usually, I will have soft and chewy breads like white loaf bread, raisin bread, butter bread, etc. Wholemeal bread is not my type of choice as it is too dry and tough to chew even though my parents have been eating this type of bread as a healthier choice. 

This perception of mine surely changed 180 degrees after I have tried Sunshine Extra Fine Sprouted Wholemeal Bread. It is tastier than white bread and not that tough as the normal wholemeal bread out there in the market.

With Sunshine Extra Fine Sprouted Wholemeal Bread, my choices of bread has increased and I do not have to compromise on my taste buds when it comes to eating healthy.

So I'm really grateful to be invited to this afternoon high tea session at the Botanic Garden for an educational sharing of information on sprouted grains and their benefits as well as trying out the New Sunshine Extra Fine Sprouted Wholemeal Bread. Definitely learnt a lot during the 2 hours sharing. 

"This newly launched product is endorsed by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) as a Healthier Choice product, and it also has the distinction being the first product in Asia to be endorsed by the US Whole Grains Council. We are working closely with the council to further educate consumers on the health benefits of sprouted whole grains. Adults and children alike will love this extra fine and extra soft bread which comes with all the benefits of a wholemeal bread", said Mr Nicholas Koh, Head of Marketing of Sunshine Bakeries & Auric Pacific Marketing for the opening speech.

 

Next, we have Ms Cynthia Harriman, Director of Food & Nutrition Strategies of the US Whole Grains Council to share with us. It's already 2.30am in Boston where she is but she stayed up to skype and share the benefits with us. She mentioned that the next evolution in healthier food lies in sprouted whole grains and that Sunshine Bakeries is at the forefront of this newest advances in whole grains. She shared with us the goodness of grains, basically, a grain has three edible parts. Refine grains lost half of the nutrients. Eating more whole grains can reduce risk of heart disease. Sprouted whole grains are much healthier as the sprouting process "unlocks" the grain's nutrients that are store in the seeds.

Next speaker is Ms Ketki, she really gives a very detailed explanation of why sprouted grains are better. I'll just summarized them.

1) Easily digestible, cause it's kind of broken down already
2) Increased Vitamin
3) Less intestinal gas
4) Feels full longer

Anyway, it's not east to carry out the sprouting process. Too much heat and the grains will get fungus and rot, too little heat, the grains will not sprout.
