April is Sprouted Grains Month.
Sprouted grains, a cornerstone of the health food movement, have a history as ancient as agriculture. Yet, their popularity has surged due to their perceived health benefits. Sprouted grains are essentially whole grains that have been soaked and left to germinate, initiating a process that breaks down some of the starches into simpler sugars and alters the nutritional profile of the grains.
Sprouting grains have roots in traditional agricultural practices worldwide, where grains were often exposed to moisture and warmth, leading to natural sprouting. Ancient civilizations noted this process, including those in Egypt and Mesopotamia, where sprouted grains were likely consumed out of necessity when stored grains began to germinate.
Today, sprouted grains are believed to provide increased access to nutrients, including B vitamins, vitamin C, and essential amino acids. They're also believed to reduce the levels of antinutrients, which can inhibit the absorption of minerals. These changes make sprouted grains a favorite among health-conscious consumers.
Commonly sprouted grains include wheat, barley, millet, and rice, used in various culinary applications, from bread and cereals to snacks and salads. Sprouted grain bread, which uses a mixture of sprouted grains and legumes, has gained popularity for its enhanced nutritional value and digestibility compared to regular bread.
