The Daniel Fast is a widely utilized fast based on the Biblical book of Daniel. It involves a 21 day ad libitum food intake period, devoid of animal products and preservatives, and inclusive of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Example: Bread, whole grain, 1 slice. So that tells us that every bread that has whole grain as the first ingredient is approved. Water is sometimes the 1st ingredient and that is fine., but if “whole” is the 1st or second word the bread product IS approved.
