My Brand Recommendation for Extraordinary Foods: Grains, Starchy Carbs, Sweeteners, Beans, & Nuts

Only two more days to go, and we'll be done with the Extraordinary Food List! I hope this has been helpful for you!

Here are my recommendations for grains, sweeteners, beans, & nuts and seeds!

(The Extraordinary Food List is taken from page 58 of the Great Physician's RX for Health & Wellness by Jordan Rubin)

Grains & Starchy Carbohydrates: (Organic, and whole grains and flours should be soaked for six to twelve hours before cooking) Note: These grains can be easily purchased at your local health food store. I'll list our family's favorite brands where applicable!

Sprouted Ezekiel- type bread Our family loves Food for Life's Ezekiel's bread in the red package, and we love the sesame variety as well! (Green)
Fermented whole grain sourdough bread Alvarado Street Bakery makes some awesome organic sprouted sourdough breads!
Sprouted whole grain cereal Our family doesn't really eat cereal, but when we do, we eat Food for Life's Ezekiel sprouted cereal.
Quinoa (Soaked) You can buy organic quinoa from any health food store. Just make sure you soak it, as quinoa is exceptionally high in phytates.
Amaranth (Soaked)
Buckwheat (Soaked)
Millet (Soaked)

Sweeteners:

Unheated raw honey Our family's FAVORITE brand is Really Raw Honey, which you can buy at some health food stores, or you can order online.
Date Sugar

Beans & Legumes: (Soaked for 12+ hours)
(You can easily buy any of these beans or legumes from your health food store- just look for packages, or buy them in the bulk section. A favorite snack of our family is soaked pinto beans, cooked in the crockpot for 12+ hours, and topped with sour cream and raw cheese. Yum!)

One note: just make sure the beans or legumes you are buying come from the U.S.- some beans are from China, even organic ones!
