Making bread from sprouted grains
Why on earth would anyone want to sprout their grains? Aren’t we all
busy enough without adding another task to our day? Just buy some flour
and bake with it already! These are some things you might have thought
when you read the title of this post. I used to think the same thing
until I took a second look into the importance of sprouting grains.
Grains, as well as beans, other seeds, and nuts contain an anti-nutrient
called phytic acid. An anti-nutrient is a natural substance that
inhibits the body’s ability to absorb minerals. It’s the plant’s way of
protecting itself from having its seeds eaten! Traditional cultures
realized this and soaked, sprouted, and even fermented their grains
before consuming. This process releases the anti-nutrient making the
grain more digestible and increases its nutritional value.
