Made from real paleontologists.
is new from Julian Bakery, and I bought a loaf and had it shipped. Nothing earth-shattering there. I’m not too huge on eating bread or grain-based food in general (for
some good reasons), so I thought trying this stuff out would be a fun experiment.
Grilled cheese. Who else sees a chariot riding under the moonlight in the toast pattern?
The first thing you notice is that the loaf is a little smaller than a normal bread loaf, but heavier. The first ingredient is water, and it is high in fiber, so that’s probably why. After putting it in the freezer there’s a lot of ice that crusts around it, though it doesn’t seem to affect the texture or taste.
French toast and Co. Made with real Frenchmen (sorry).
The bread itself is not crumbly or weak at all, which is one thing I would’ve expected. It’s just the opposite: it’s tougher and chewier than normal bread. It’s little bit of a workout to eat it. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you’re looking for something light and fluffy, you’re out of luck.
Egg Sandwich. Made with real sa–ugh.
If you’re wondering: it doesn’t taste like coconut, nor does it taste like bread really. There is some apple cider vinegar in there that is probably what’s giving it the flavor of…something (it doesn’t taste like apple cider, either). It’s decent eating it by itself, but probably best prepared as normal bread is.
Bottom line: excellent bread substitute if you have gluten or flour allergies, or if you’re a primal/paleo dieter and miss the sandwich aesthetic (I don’t think it’s 100% primal/paleo but it’s extremely close). It’s not anything I’d punch an endangered whale for but I’ll eat it if I have it.
