Our sprouted grain breads, bagels, buns, pizzas, and tortillas are truly unique in that they are made with "Sprouted Whole Wheat" as opposed to flour. We take whole, organic wheat berries and soak them in filtered water until they "sprout" - until they actually begin to grow. When the excess water has been drained, we grind the "living sprouts" into dough. The concept of baking bread with sprouted grains is not a new idea. In fact, it dates back to biblical times when sprouted spelt (what we now know as wheat) was combined with sprouted lentil beans and sprouted soybeans. The sprouting process naturally converts starchy grains into easily digested maltose and other complex sugars. There is enzyme activity created during germination that begins to "pre-digest" the grains, thereby making the grains and their nutrients and vitamins more readily assimilated by the body. The addition of the sprouted legumes (soybeans/lentil beans) provided the essential amino acids necessary for a complete protein. This mixture was then crushed, formed into ovals and slow-baked. Centuries later, our recipe is basically the same.

Alvarado Street Bakery is located at 2225 S. McDowel Blvd, Extension, Petaluma CA, just north of San Francisco in the beautiful wine country of Sonoma County. For over 30 years Alvarado Street Bakery has been a leader in producing healthy, organic, whole grain breads. Here in Northern California, we run our own fleet of trucks servicing all major supermarket chains, as well as smaller health food stores and natural food markets.

Alvarado Street Bakery supports the movement toward farming practices that sustain soil fertility naturally and eliminate the use of toxic farm chemicals. We strive to use as many organically grown ingredients as possible. It is our belief that by supporting organic farming we are enhancing our health and protecting the environment.
