Healthy Sprouted Grains

Sprouted grain – rich in food enzymes and natural vitamins. The sprouted grain is more in protein and lower starch and as a further boon it is rich in other nutrients, like protein, vitamins, and minerals, compared to unsprouted grains, which lower the glycemic index making it more suitable for those suffering from blood sugar issues

Sprouted grain differs from unsprouted grain in three fundamental aspects:

 1. Sprouting help in activation of food enzymes

 2. Sprouting helps in increasing vitamin content

 3. Sprouting help in neutralizes anti nutrients. 

Values of Sprouted grain

The nutrient density value of sprouted wheat to unsprouted wheat on a calorie-per-calorie basis, it is fond that sprouted wheat contains four times the amount of niacin and nearly twice the amount of vitamin B6 and folate as compare to unsprouted wheat.

As concluded Chavan and Kadam (1989)

"Sprouting grains causes increased activities of hydrolytic enzymes, improvements in the contents of total proteins, fat, certain essential amino acids, total sugars, B-group vitamins, and a decrease in dry matter, starch and anti-nutrients. The increased contents of protein, fat, fibre and total ash are only apparent and attributable to the disappearance of starch. However, improvements in amino acid composition, B-group vitamins, sugars, protein and starch digestibilities, and decrease in phytates and protease inhibitors are the metabolic effects of the sprouting process." 

Benefits of Sprouting

Increased Vitamin C - Sprouting produces vitamin C.

·         Increased Digestibility - Sprouting breaks down starches in grains into simple sugars so your body can digest them easily.

·         Increased Vitamin B - Sprouting increases the vitamin B2, B5 & B6

·         Increased Antioxidants – Sprouting releases more antioxidants that are naturally stored in the grains and seeds.

 Increased Absorption of Minerals – Sprouting breaks down enzyme inhibitors, so your body can more easily adsorb calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc.
