What it is
Sprouted quinoa is a whole grain that has been allowed to germinate or sprout before being processed. This sprouting process is thought to increase the availability of nutrients and make it easier to digest. Quinoa itself is a seed, often prepared and eaten like a grain, originating from South America.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sprouted quinoa for its nutritional profile, including protein and fiber content, and its slightly nutty flavor. It is often added to cereals, snack bars, chips, and baked goods to boost their whole grain and nutrient content.
Health notes

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated quinoa and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming sprouted quinoa in typical amounts.
Allergen info
