The Benefits of Sprouted Grains When grains germinate, their nutritional content changes and the acidic grain becomes an alkaline forming sprout. Sprouted grains are high in protective antioxidants and encourage the growth of good bacteria in the stomach. Sprouts, as well as being easily digestible, are a good source of fibre and protein, and are high in many vitamins and minerals.

Sprouted grains are significantly higher in protein and vitamins, and their complex starches are converted into natural sugars. The gluten content of a grain is reduced by approximately 50% during the sprouting process. Phytate, which reduces the absorption of minerals, is also markedly reduced. A high proportion of people allergic to a grain are able to consume the sprout, or bread made from it. This does not apply to coeliacs. Difficult to digest complex starches are converted to natural sugars by the enzyme amylase making the sprout or bread easier to digest. Fats and oils are converted into simpler fatty acids by the enzyme lipase. Spouting produces vitamin C while increasing vitamin B and carotene levels. The process changes the grain to a young plant which is more like a vegetable than a grain.
