What it is

Organic sprouted wheat is whole wheat grain that has begun to germinate or sprout. This process is thought to increase the availability of nutrients. The sprouted grains are then typically milled into flour for use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sprouted wheat flour to add a nutty flavor and a denser texture to baked goods. It is commonly found in breads, muffins, cereals, and pasta.

Health notes

Sprouted wheat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The sprouting process may increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients in wheat, such as iron and zinc. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'sprouted wheat' as a distinct ingredient are not widely documented. Research on sprouted grains suggests potential benefits for blood sugar management and digestion, though more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Sprouted wheat is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten. Individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease should avoid it.
