Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 WHY SPROUTED GRAINS? Because they're nutrient–rich WHY SPROUTED GRAINS? Because they're nutrient–rich and easier to digest: • When whole grains are sprouted they are converted into a living food bursting with more vital nutrients than unsprouted grains. • Sprouted whole grains digest like vegetables in the body, not starches.* • Sprouting produces Vitamin C, increases Vitamin B content and carotene, helps with absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc.** • Sprouting neuturalizes complex sugars responsible for indigestion and produces enzymes that aid in digestion.** • Breads, muffins, brownies, pancakes and other baked goods made with sprouted grain flours are delicious and easier to digest. WHY SPELT GRAIN? • Processed white flour made from wheat grain is devoid of many nutrients and fiber necessary for a healthy diet. • More and more consumers are searching for alternatives to processed white flour, especially those suffering with wheat-intolerance or gluten-sensitivity. • Spelt is a member of the same grain family as oats and wheat, but it is a different species. • Spelt, nutty and mild in flavor, has a tough outer hull that allows it to grow into a more delicate, water-soluble kernel. This added benefit allows the nutrients to be more easily absorbed by the body during digestion.*** • Spelt is a superb fiber source and has large amounts of B-complex vitamins. • ts protein content is 10-25% greater than wheat, and it contains less gluten than the common varieties of commercially grown wheat.*** *Source Janie Quinn, Essential Eating: Discover How To Eat, Not Diet **Source Sally Fallon, Nourishing Traditions ***Source Price- Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, La Mesa, CA For more information visit www.essentialeating.com.
