where's the killer bread? what's up with the sprouted wheat?

Killer Dave:
I LOVE your bread I just discovered it at Fred Meyer in in Canby in the organic section BUT it is hidden away from all of the other breads so maybe you should insist that they put it with the rest of the bread I only found it as I looked for organic peanut butter. My question is, what is SPROUTED and UNSPROUTED bread, and what is the difference and what is better for you? I notice that your GOOD SEED comes in the two kinds, and what is the difference? I looked in the glossary but did not find it. Your bread is AMAZING and your story is inspiring and just you know.. WOW!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!! I will eat your bread and none else from now on. I think you are amazing. My husband also loves your bread He makes guitars, for a living by the way exciting, huh? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhahahah he has a website. www.chapinguitars.com ; Our shop was down for a bit because on April 19th in Canby our house EXPLODED from a gas explosion. - the phone co. did it. they were digging and hit the gas lines and it was huge mess but we are all okay. YIKES BUT we are rebuilding. We have been looking into all kids of organic things of late and we would love to build the new house with more earth friendly materials but they are expensive so we are gonna do what we can. Bill and I both think your story and your bread is INCREDIBLE! Have a great day!!! Liz Chapin

Hi Liz!

Terrific letter! Yes, I agree it’s in the wrong section. But after people have tried it, they usually go to wherever it is ;)
To your question now: Some say that sprouted wheat is better for you—easier to digest and all. I say the main difference between the original (and hands-down most popular) and the sprouted is that the sprouted is 100% whole-grain, while the original has about 40-60 organic white to whole wheat. There are other differences between them, but that is the big one. For that reason, The sprouted has more fiber, but both provide a good amount.

It never ceases to amaze and excite me the people I meet since I started making this bread! You and your husband are certainly no exception. Thanks for sharing your story with me. Good it is that you were not hurt—I’m sure you are thankful for that.

I visited the website—now I really want to play one of those axes! I will be in the market for a quality guitar soon, so I will definitely be looking you up.

killer dan makes good use of dkb shopping bag

Odds are that you haven't seen any of the limited-edition Dave's Killer Bread shopping bags that were made from recycled plastic bottles, unless you're one of those I gave them out to at the beginning of the farmers' market season.

Well, "Killer Dan" Letchinger wouldn't be caught dead with one of those bags, so he decided to at least make use of the logo, which he's proud to wear on his back. After all, he is one of dkb's most talented and enthusiastic representatives. He has been the one who gets it done while I have been away these past several weekends (servicing the Puget Sound area). This is the only way way we could keep doing the farmers' markets.

He surprised me with this jacket last week, and I just had to snap a photo for the blog. Perhaps it is a prototype for future dkb gear...

let's hear it for dave's killer bread!

I'm tired tonight, but before I lay me down I leave you with these nuggets of love from my favorite people: those who love Dave's Killer Bread.

Dave and Gang:
I found your bread through the non-profit food rescue organization I volunteer for.
We receive donations from stores of food items that are past their pull date, but
still good. We are a working co-op and feed 80 of our own families as well as rotating
our overage directly into the community (shelters & food banks) to insure that food is not wasted. Your bread
does NOT make it past the stockers (which I am one of)! We get 3 or 4 loaves a week
and I, and the other lady I work with, go home with your bread…I should say…ONLY
your bread. My family’s first question when I bring the food home is, “Did you get
some more of that Dave’s Killer Bread!!!???” It has been a few weeks since I discovered
your bread and it is now the only bread my family will eat.
What caught my eye was the wrapper at first…then I read the package….so I KNEW
I had to try it. My husband and I loved your video. We rejoice with you in your
success that is well-deserved.
Now the point I wrote you is this: I have worked for the food rescue organization
these past 6 years with the proclamation that “I will NEVER buy bread again!!!
There is too much bread going to waste!!!” But, as you can guess, I got on line and
searched for the store where I can go BUY your bread…and I understand that it’s not 99 cents.
I DON’T CARE! I’M ADDICTED!
I too have found that a life of natural highs is far superior to drugs and alcohol!
Congratulations on your success and may God bless you,
The Baxter Family

We just moved to Corvallis from Chicago last week. I discovered your Flourless Sprouted Wheat Bread at the First Alternative Co-op and I just love it! I'm going out to get another loaf today.
I've tried other sprouted breads.....but your's is, by far, my favorite.

thanks!

Hey Dave!Your bread is the BEST bread I have ever had. I eat two slices every morning for breakfast with a tiny, tiny bit of Earth Balance so that the margarine doesn't take away from the nutty, yummy bread. Thank you a million times for making a bread that is better than most things. You have a customer for life!

Best,
Lindsay


Hey Dave... been trying forever to find a good bread... and went to Wild Oat's today on a whim... Picked up your loaf, put it down and then went "what the hell"... brought it home and it is sooooooooooooooooooooo good...



Hi Dave,
We really enjoy your Good Seed bread and I just wanted you to know that it is the best. Keep up the good work.
Best Regards,
Mike

Dear Dave, I've just discovered your wonderful bread and story. They say we are as sick as our secrets, so you have a great healing just from your sharing.
I've been writing prison pen pals for years and can see you have what it takes. You are a surviver, a winner, a great example. Author, Joseph Campbell said,"Follow your bliss." You are doing that. You are giving back out there, your gift and step 12. So, bless you, Dave, those you love and all that you do. I am so happy for you.
Love and light,
Judy
