Health Benefits Of Sprouts

Sprouts are highly nutritional and protein rich source of natural food. Pulses, Nuts, Seeds, Grains, and Beans can be sprouted. Sprouting helps in absorption of minerals and increase their protein, vitamin and nutrient content. The process of sprouting reduces the presence of 'anti-nutrients' such as phytates that causes problems with digestion. It breaks down complex starches in them and produce lots of enzymes which aid digestion. Sprouting usually involves soaking pulses and other sprouting grains in water over time.

Nuts like almonds that are sprouted unlock lot of hidden nutrients. Sprouting almonds makes the lipase in almonds available for digestion which is an enzyme which that helps in breaking down body fat. Sprouts such as alfalfa, radish, broccoli, clover and soybean contain certain plant compounds that can protect us against disease. Sprouts are rich in certain highly active antioxidants that help in slowing down aging process.

Sprouts are the cheapest and most convenient source of complete nourishment. Green gram, Bengal gram, chickpea, kidney beans, dried peas are affordably available to the masses across the country. Sprouting is part of Indian traditional cooking for centuries. Sprouted alfalfa seeds are said to be the most beneficial among all sprouts rich in manganese, vitamins A, B, C, E, K and other essential amino acids.

Here are some of the amazing health benefits of sprouts.



1.Enzymes



Studies have shown sprouts to have several times more enzymes than even raw vegetable and fruits. Enzymes are type of proteins that act as catalysts extracting more vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids from the foods you eat.

2.More protein



The quality and concentration of protein in beans, nuts, seeds and grains increase substantially after sprouting thereby improving its nutritional value. Certain amino acids in sprouts help strengthen your immune system.

3.Higher fiber content



Process of sprouting increases the fibre concentration in them which is critical to weight loss and improved digestion. Fibres help in flushing out toxins and unwanted fats from our body.

4.Vitamins



Sprouting increases various vitamins present. Particularly vitamins such as vitamin A, B-complex, C, and E. Researches show the vitamin content of some increasing by up to 20 times the original value after the process of sprouting.

5.Amino acids



Deficiency in amino acids that are fat-burning essential fats is common in large population due to its absence from regular diet. Sprouts have increased concentration of essential amino acids that are necessary for metabolism.

6.More essential minerals



Sprouts contain minerals in different form that is more readily usable by your body. During sprouting, alkaline minerals such as calcium, magnesium etc. bind to protein in sprouts to make it easily absorbed or processed during digestion.

7.Avoid additives and pesticides



Sprouting from seed, grain, nut, or bean can be done easily at home in a clean and local environment. This helps prevent mass producing companies contaminating them with preservative additives and pesticides that are harmfully present in other processed food.
