How To Make Sprouted Grains: Ridiculously Easy Ways To Cook With Sprouted Grains: Bioactive Compounds Of Sprouted Grains
Once grains start sprouting, it’s like they’re unlocking all of the goodness that’s inside,” says registered dietician Toby Amidor. Compared to their unsprouted counterparts, sprouted grains, or those seeds that have been allowed to sprout but are not yet a full plant, boast more protein and fiber and are also slightly higher in minerals that many of us fall short on, like iron and zinc. (That last one is especially beneficial for vegans since most dietary zinc sources are animal-based.)
Raw or minimally cooked sprouted grains have more vitamins like vitamin C and carotenoids, too, although those tend to degrade in the presence of heat. Sprouted grains are a powerhouse of nutrition. Sprouting activates food enzymes; increases vitamin content; and neutralizes "antinutrients," such as phytic acid, that can block the absorption of minerals.
Sprouts are easier to digest, and research indicates that they can help lower your cholesterol, reduce your blood pressure, and control your blood sugar levels.
