What is ‘Not Bread’?
Not Bread is a gluten-free, dairy free seed loaf crafted from organic oats, seeds, honey, olive oil and sea salt.
We don’t use flour, eggs, nor butter. Not Bread offers wholesome nourishment that is balanced with fiber, protein, and good fats (from seeds, of course!).
All Not Bread and mixes are handcrafted in small batches in Bend and Portland, Oregon.
“I bought a loaf on a whim at the Farmer's Market last week...and made a special trip back just for another loaf this week! Calling this 'bread' isn't fair to all the other breads out there, this is so good! A new weekly staple for sure. Thank you for creating food I love and trust.”

Why ‘Not Bread’?
“As a cardiologist, I have seen the development of coronary heart disease due to elevated blood sugar levels. In the adult age group of 45-65 years, estimates are that 45% of the population has pre-diabetes; over 65 years, nearly 50% of adults have pre-diabetes. Diabetes has devastating consequences on cardiovascular health, resulting in heart attack, stroke, and dementia.
In the past, my typical breakfast had been whole-grain toast with coffee. I wore a continuous glucose monitor for two weeks to better understand my blood sugar response to various foods. My whole-grain toast for breakfast spiked my blood sugar to unacceptably high levels. I then tested Not Bread with peanut butter and several different kinds of cheese and found a gradual and muted blood sugar response.
This experiment convinced me that Not Bread is an extremely healthy food for your blood sugar response and gastrointestinal Microbiome.”

What are people saying about Not Bread?
This is INCREDIBLE. My favorite thing to have for breakfast, or a quick snack between meetings or workouts. It's filling without feeling the way I sometimes do if I eat too many carbs. Fiber content makes the whole difference here! Highly recommend the sprouted loaves + the chocolate, both excellent in the toaster!”

“Savory without being salty, sweet without being sugary, nothing compares to Not Bread!”

“We just moved to Bend and I've been getting my loaves at the Farmer's Market. I have ulcerative Colitis and don't eat grains except oats (which have been shown to be super healthy for folks with IBD). So yay! I get to eat "bread"!
