| Article Title :: Benefits of Sprouted Foods |
| |
| There is an amazing increase in nutrients in sprouted foods when compared to their dried embryo. In the process of sprouting, the vitamins, minerals and protein increase substantially with corresponding decrease in calories and carbohydrate content. These comparisons are based on an equivalent water content in the foods measured. Analysis of dried seeds, grains and legumes shows a very low water content.

For accurate comparison each must be brought to a common denomination of equal water content to assess the exact change brought in nutritional value.Sprouted mung beans, for instance, have a 8.3 increase (read full article) |

Fine points in the labeling laws let you know if the food is made from 100 percent organic ingredients, 95 percent or 70 percent.None of this makes foods more nutritious or safer.I support organic farmers for their efforts to find solve environmental problems, and often shop in organic markets: they have tasty produce and carry whole grains that are hard to find elsewhere.
