Product Review / Company Review - Food for Life

Hello,

Another company that you may want to check out is Food for Life. They have various wheat free, wheat and gluten free, and yeast free breads that you may be able to eat. They also have rice tortillas and corn tortillas. This is also the company that makes the sprouted grain Ezekiel bread, but we have never tried any of these.

I am basing this review on the frozen version of the Food for Life Brown Rice Bread. You can find Food for Life bread in the allergy or gluten free freezer isle, the cereal isle or bread isle. It is excellent for making bread crumbs because you store it in the freezer until you need the crumbs. It is o.k. as jelly toast or jelly bread. It is not as good for sandwich bread, because its texture is somewhat like a bagel and it is pretty dry. We have only tried the bread from the freezer section, because that is all that was available when my daughter was first diagnosed with her allergies. I tried heating it slightly in the microwave or toasting it, but my daughter really didn't like it. If you are looking for a soft sandwich bread, this is really not it. Now to be honest, I haven't tried the more recent version which is on the shelf. It is possible that it will be softer and better for sandwich making. Also, if your child has problems with texture or only wants to eat soft things, this is a little harder to chew. You could try toasting it or putting it in the microwave for a few seconds.

So, basically at this point I use this bread for bread crumbs when I am making Roasted Stuffed Pork Tenderloin or any kind of meatballs.
