Silver Hills Sprouted Bread is Baked in a Nut-Free, Dairy-Free Facility

Sprouting grains reportedly unlocks nutrition and aids absorption of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients within. They also say that sprouting makes the grains more easily digestible. And I may just be a believer. My husband has had notable troubles with wheat, but he isn’t Celiac. He had tried the occasional wheat challenge with no luck, but decided to give Silver Hills Sprouted Bread a try. And what do you know… his body loves it!

I originally post about Silver Hills Sprouted Bread in 2014, but have updated this post with current information and our new review format. You can now leave your own rating and review below too!

Silver Hills Sprouted Bread is the Ultimate in Whole Grains

This is hands down, my favorite store-bought brand of bread. I like to bake our own bread, when possible. But it’s trickier these days since I don’t always have an oven or proper supplies. So I’ve been leaning on Silver Hills Sprouted Bread a little more.

The first time I bought bread by Silver Hills Bakery was probably more than a decade ago. Their Squirrelly loaf was on sale, and looked deliciously hearty. It didn’t disappoint. Since then, I’ve tried several different varieties of Silver Hills Sprouted Bread. They’re all wonderfully hearty, earthy, and “nutty” (but nut-free) in taste. But there are a few that I repeatedly buy. Since they have twelve different loaves, I’ll include specifics on my favorites, followed by a quick list of the rest.

Additional Types of Silver Hills Sprouted Bread

We received a sample of their English Muffins on launch. They weren’t quite up to snuff (definitely some production issues!). But they have hit the mainstream, so I’m guessing those have been worked out.

Multigrain is my favourite. I use it with every kind of sandwich filling or toasted with vegan, seed, or nut kinds of butter or eaten plain with tea for breakfast. This is the only bread I buy now. Anything else, I bake myself. I keep it frozen and take out a few slices at a time to thaw or toast. Flavour, fibre, vitamins – it is the perfect food. (I am not affiliated with Costco)

I bought a loaf of Organic Sprouted Power soft wheat bread at a discount store. I liked the idea of the bread being sprouted. I normally used to buy anything as long as it was cheap. But this bread was on sale and I had to buy it. I felt the need to try something healthier and i fell in love. I want to learn more about sprouting foods now. I am a believer in eating sprouted foods now.

I’ve been purchasing this brand off and on for years – mostly when I would see it on sale. But lately, I noticed that Target stocks it all the time for a fair price. I’ve been buying the “Big 16” and it’s just as delicious as the rest. Love how “nutty” this bread is. It has so much rich grain flavor and freezes well. I keep it in the freezer and toast up as many slices as I need.
