Show full details & how to prepare it
Sprouting breaks down some of the stored starches and proteins in a seed, making its nutrients easier for the body to use, and it develops vitamin C and other vitamins that were barely present in the dry seed. The result is a low-calorie, high-nutrient food that helps fill a plate without adding many calories.
