Why Sprouted Bread?

Silver Hills has added four new certified organic sprouted breads to their lineup, showcasing sprouted – and now organic – can be both tasty and nutritious and when they sent me some to try, I was so excited! I actually first discovered Silver Hills when I picked up some of their bagels at Target and I loved the freshness, taste and quality ingredients! Their sprouted breads did NOT disappoint! They are so fresh, soft, absolutely delicious and perfect with this vegan curried chickpea salad sandwich!

So, why sprouted bread?

Per Registered Dietitian and Silver Hills Brand Partner Desiree Nielsen, “sprouted grain breads are higher in filling plant-based protein and fiber than standard whole wheat breads. Sprouted grains, being intact whole grains, will have more nutrition: sprouted grain breads have on average 12 grams of plant-based protein per two slices, and a whopping 10 grams of fiber. Compare this to 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber for an average supermarket whole wheat loaf.”

Also, “sprouted grain breads are made without flour, and sprouting helps improve digestibility of the plant-based minerals found in whole grain wheat.”

The Sprouting Process

Sprouting uses the entire whole grain.

Organic whole grains are cleaned, rinsed, and soaked in water until they begin to sprout (or grow). Valuable nutrients are unlocked and released during sprouting. Sprouting makes it easier for your body to absorb.

Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery has perfected their sprouting process over 30 years. Their grains sprout in carefully controlled conditions with just the right amount of moisture and warmth to start the germination process.

Sprouting ensures your blood sugar levels stay steady and provides energy to power you through a full day’s work and play.

Also, all Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery ingredients are voluntarily third-party tested to ensure they are free of glyphosate, used in common weed killers. This testing shows all Silver Hills products are certified as Glyphosate Residue-Free and display the Bio-Checked Non-Glyphosate Certified seal.

How to Make Vegan Curried Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Start by washing and chopping your green onion, grapes, celery, and cilantro.

Drain, rinse and dry your canned chickpeas (I just wrap mine rinsed chickpeas in a few paper towels and pat dry).

Add the chickpeas to a large bowl with your vegan mayonnaise, turmeric, curry powder, salt & pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well with a spoon then grab a potato masher or fork and mash up your chickpeas. You can mash the chickpeas entirely or you can leave a handful or so unmashed for some additional texture.

Once your chickpeas are mashed, add in your celery, grapes, green onions and cilantro and stir. Taste test and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

At this point, add your lime juice to taste. I like mine with lots of lime flavor, so I add the juice of about one medium lime.

This recipe is very easily adjusted to your taste preferences, if you want more curry flavor, just simply add more curry powder. If you want more sweetness, add more grapes. Add more vegan mayo if you prefer it more creamy and if you want more tang, just add in some extra squeezes of lime!

Cover and store in the fridge.This will keep well for about 3 to 4 days. I hope you enjoy this vegan curried chickpea salad sandwich!
