What it is
Organic sprouted grains are whole grains that have begun to sprout, or germinate. This process is thought to increase the availability of certain nutrients. The grains are then typically dried and milled.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sprouted grains for their nutritional profile and unique flavor and texture. They are often found in baked goods like breads, muffins, and crackers, as well as in some snack mixes and cereals.
Health notes
Sprouted grains are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in food. Some research suggests that sprouting can increase the bioavailability of certain vitamins and minerals and may alter the carbohydrate and protein content. However, more peer-reviewed research is needed to fully understand the health effects of consuming sprouted grains compared to their unsprouted counterparts. JECFA has evaluated whole grains, but specific evaluations for sprouted grains are limited.
Allergen info
Sprouted grains are derived from cereal grains. Depending on the specific grain, they may contain gluten (e.g., wheat, barley, rye). Wheat is a major allergen. Not a major allergen if derived from gluten-free grains like rice or quinoa.
