What it is
A Sprouted Seed and Grain Blend is made from whole grains and seeds that have been allowed to germinate or sprout before being processed. This sprouting process can change the nutritional profile of the ingredients, sometimes making nutrients more available.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sprouted seeds and grains to add nutritional value and a wholesome, earthy flavor to foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, snacks like chips and pretzels, and bread products.
Health notes
Sprouted seeds and grains are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The sprouting process can increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated this blend as a single ingredient, but the individual components are widely consumed. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Depending on the specific seeds and grains used, this blend may contain allergens such as wheat or sesame. It is not derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, or soy. Gluten may be present if wheat or barley are included.
