I know I've bought Rudy's organic, but not sure if it was plain whole wheat.

Read the labels! That said, I usually get Zingerman's. I have no idea which one. The farm bread? I don't remember.

^ i seriously sit in the bread isle for a half an hour reading labels, its nice to know peoples go-2s. I've yet to find any tofu dog or veggieburger buns that weren't some health store brand...

I've also used Rudi's breads, but I don't think there is a whole wheat? Or that might be the one that has honey. I get the Flax, Oat Nut, or rarely White.
I would love it if I could get Whole Foods breads but the labels always say enzymes and how do you know if the enzymes are animal sourced or not? One of these days when I have time I'll either call or ask in their bakery, but it's the enzymes that are the only questionable ingredients I think.

i'm such a bad vegan. you're right there are enzymes in it. i'm reading the crushed wheat, millet and oat bag right now... didn't even cross my mind. let me know if u find out pleeez.

don't beat yourself up RubyDuby...maybe they are vegan enzymes. It's like those Late July crackers that I stopped eating b/c they started listing enzymes on the box, but when I saw that Pangea and Vegan Essentials were carrying them I knew they were okay. Guess I'll have to do the legwork on this one though...I'll keep you posted.

Well it's $2.50 a loaf for 'crap' whole wheat bread, compared to $4 a loaf for 'pure' whole wheat bread.

My wallet says I can make the ingredient sacrifice...

See if you have any local bakeries. I generally go with the kind of bread that has just the simple ingredients from a local bakery. Or Trader Joes.

Okay sarcasmo.

I was just saying that even the cheap bread that I go or has about 10 ingredients. The Organic one has about 6.

oops...above I said I used Rudi's but I got it confused w/ Barowsky's. Rudi's also has enzymes. Barowsky's is vegan, well some of them are....others have honey. There are a couple of other brands I get w/ way less ingredients but I think they may just be local...When Pigs Fly and Borealis. The pig bread will ship within US but I don't know if anyone wants to go to that hassle. They have a chocolate bread that is more like dessert bread...it's very rich!

lol sarcasmo. Hey we are just bitter okay?! a flipping loaf of vegan bread is like 6 bucks where as i could get a loaf of non vegan bread for 69 cents...same with all the organic foods, i don't know how they expect people to be organic and still be able to afford to eat, i for one can't, i can't buy any oranic stuff...

I always wander through the market, and think to myself..."and we wonder why we are all fat, all the healthy crap is so flipping expensive where as i can buy a frozen pizza for a buck" STUPID!!!! :mad::p

Rudi's bread is vegan, except for a few products that contain honey. I have read this before, but looked it up again on their webpage. Additionally, I know that I read before that their enzymes in particular were definately not of animal origin and were vegan, but I can't find that part now. But anyway, they specifically say that their bread is vegan except for the honey ones.

I buy the ancient grain smelt bread, which I love. It is kind of hard though, so I usually toast it, but its delicious:)

Are Rudi's breads vegan?
Yes, Rudi's Organic breads are vegan with the exception of the following varieties that contain honey: Honey Sweet Whole Wheat, European Multigrain, Spelt Tortillas and Whole Spelt Tortillas

fondducouer, thanks for that info. It's great new's about Rudi's. That opens up a lot of options for me. Don't they also make burger buns and hotdog rolls??? This is exciting!

No problem:)
I buy the hamburger buns all the time (the whole wheat ones are great), but have never had the hotdog ones. I'm scared to try veggie hotdogs I think.
