sprouted grains

Activated cereal kernels

Sprouted grains are whole grains that have been soaked in water until they begin to germinate, then dried before the sprout fully develops.

The sprouting process breaks down some starches and may increase nutrient availability.

Health food advocates favor sprouted grain breads and flours: I switched to sprouted grain bread for the extra protein.
