sprouted bread

Bread from seedlings

Sprouted bread is made from grains that have been allowed to germinate before being milled into flour.

The sprouting process breaks down starches and is said to make nutrients more accessible.

Health food stores and organic brands market sprouted bread as easier to digest and more nutritious than conventional bread: I switched to sprouted bread for the extra protein.
