Features
Sprouted seeds have a high energy and tonic value. Due to their incomparable biological value, their regular use is recommended for everyone. They can be consumed with any meal, plain, in salads, soups, smoothies, with vegetables, or in sandwiches... In small quantities! Their nutritional value is so high that their consumption should be moderate! The highest point of vitality in a plant's life cycle occurs when it is a sprout, hence its nutritional benefits. When germinating, some nutrients in cereals and legumes multiply. In a wheat grain, vitamin C is practically nonexistent, but once the grain germinates, its content increases hundreds of times.
The sprouting process makes nutrients more digestible, so sprouts cause less flatulence than the grains from which they originated. Sprouts are low in calories but contain significant amounts of vitamins A and C, B vitamins, vitamin E, some iron, enzymes, and protein. Seeds such as alfalfa, wheat, soybeans, mung beans, lentils, and many other grains, legumes, and seeds can be sprouted.
