Wendel's Specialty Breads

Wendel’s Specialty Breads is a family owned business providing all natural breads.

Wendel, who has a background in food production, developed the recipes for his family in his home kitchen. The goal was to create tasty healthful breads using no fat, eggs or dairy, and sweetened with only honey and molasses. The addition of bulgur wheat enhances the nutritional quality and provides a pleasing flavor and bite.
The company was launched in 2010 after contracting with existing commercial bakeries to produce the breads to Wendel’s specifications.

Of course, kale is a nutritional powerhouse. As a member of the Brassica family, it’s rich in powerful antioxidants, phyto nutrients and carotenoids. It’s also an excellent source of Vitamin A, C, K, B6, Calcium, Manganese, Iron, Potassium, and fiber.

Each bag of Rhythm Kale Chips starts out as a whole bunch of garden fresh kale, seasoned with fresh vegetables, cashew “cheese,” herbs & spices.
