The Benefits of Sprouted Grains

Top a slice of sprouted-grain bread with sautéed spinach, onions, and tomato for a delicious snack.

When grains, nuts and seeds germinate, their nutritional content changes.  Becuase they are not cooked, their plant enzymes are maintained which helps facilitate their digestion in the digestive tract. They promote the growth of healthy bacteria, clean the colon and are abundant in many health promoting antioxidants. Certain nutrients in food like vitamin C are destroyed with cooking, however, raw and sprouted foods maintain their natural nutritional content. Live food may help to reduce allergies too, because cooking and processing food might lead to a weakened immune system.  Sprouted grains are also very versatile and are cheap addition to your shopping list. You can find them in the frozen natural and organic section at Zucca's by Felpausch.

What is a Sprouted Grain?

To unlock the dormant food energy, maximize nutrition and flavor, the right amount of water is added to healthy whole organically grown grains which are already abundant in nutrients. Beneficial enzymes are jump-started which cause the grains to sprout and become a living food.  The sprouting process not only increases vitamins and minerals but it also causes a natural change that allows the protein and carbohydrates to be used by the body more efficiently.  And even better still, the baking process preserves these valuable nutrients and maintains the important natural fiber and bran. 

We believe in eating sprouted grains because sprouting is the best way to release all of the vital nutrients stored in whole grains.
