What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Health aspects of toasted bread"
Answer
Zwieback or twice-baked bread is considered one of the most easily digestible and tasty foods. By toasting it in the oven, all moisture is removed from the bread, making it more digestible than fresh bread.
Such oven-dried bread is especially health-promoting and can be stored longer than ordinary bread. In combination with thorough chewing, it provides the body with essential nutrients that the system needs.
Benefits of zwieback and twice-baked bread
»Zwieback or twice-baked bread is one of the most easily digestible and tasty foods. Cut ordinary yeast bread into slices and dry it in a warm oven until the last trace of moisture has disappeared. Then allow it to brown lightly throughout. In a dry place this bread can be stored much longer than ordinary bread, and if it is reheated before use, it is as fresh as when newly made.«
Advantage of aged and dried bread
»Bread that is two or three days old is healthier than fresh bread. Oven-dried bread is one of the most health-promoting diet items.«
Importance of dry bread for digestion
»Bread should be thoroughly baked inside and out. The health of the stomach requires that it be light and dry. Bread is the true staff of life, and therefore every cook should excel in making it.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
