This bread is a good alternative for those with nut allergies. We simply love sun flower seeds, so we loved the taste! And let me ask the question. Why is this bread green?! Because sun flower seeds contain chlorophyll which goes also by the name chlorogenic acid. When they are heated, they make a reaction with baking soda and turn green. And they turn even a deeper shade of emerald when they cool down. But don’t worry, this reaction does not change the taste. And there is no harm in eating this bread. But I do suggest you make small amounts and consume within the day. Because the next day you just can’t get the same taste of fresh rusk- just like any other thing that gets freshly out from the oven.
