Why Choose Sprouted Foods?

Sprouting can:

• Germinate (activate) the seed, stimulating the production of proteolytic enzymes that make both carbohydrates and proteins digestible
• Increase the alkalinity of the seed
• Shed anti-nutrients that inhibit digestion such as phytic acid, which can inhibit the absorption of some minerals including iron and zinc
• Pre-digest and break down complex sugar molecules, making them easier to digest
• Sprouted foods may contain higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and protein
• Sprouted foods contain less calories and carbohydrates than their non-sprouted equivalents
• Differs from Activation in the germination process yields more nutrients as opposed to activation which has the same nutrients as the raw seed.
