Ener-G Bread
Ener-G offers a wide variety of gluten-free products. One of the product lines is bread. They offer quite a variety of sliced breads.
When I went to a Mother’s Market, there are a handful in Southern California, I was excited to see a large variety of breads in the shelf. I bought 2 types at my first visit. White Rice Loaf and Light Brown Rice Loaf. Oh the excitement – bread for sandwiches.
Experience:
These breads were very dry and sort of brittle. They fell apart easily when taken out of the package. This is not a great thing if you want to make sandwiches to bring with you to work, to school, etc. You never know if the bread will be in one piece or if you will have crumbs for lunch. Not what I had hoped for.
The taste itself was fine, great for different types of sandwiches. The texture was, probably due to the dryness of the bread, not what I expected. It felt in a way a bit like sawdust.
Since the two rice based breads have been so dry, I tried Seattle Brown Loaf, which is supposed to be soft and moist. Yes, the bread was moist, especially when compared to the two rice breads. However, it wasn’t soft and moist in a good way. More in a way that sticks to your teeth. Not something I enjoy a whole lot.
The taste of this bread was OK, not bad by any means. Nice for hearty sandwiches. The texture and its stickiness however turned out to be the deal breaker for me.
Altogether the Ener-G bread experience hasn’t been the best for me. True – I only tried three of the many bread types available, but I am honestly not too keen to try the other breads any time soon. Ener-G does offer other wheat and gluten-free products which I will try with an open mind though.
Where to Buy:
You will be able to buy this bread at Mother’s Market & Kitchen (www.mothersmarket.com) and at least some flavors at Whole Foods (www.wholefoodsmarket.com). I did not see these breads at regular grocery chain stores, but that doesn’t mean they won’t cary it.
If there is no store close to you, you will be able to buy the bread in gluten free online stores and at the Ener-G website.
