many favorable advantages over conventional grains like wheat. What’s more, sprouted grain breads are completely flour-free.
That’s right, you’ll actually be consuming the whole grain. Sprouted grain breads are truly made with whole grains, unlike the vast majority of store-bought breads, which are made from wheat flour. The pulverization of a grain into flour essentially creates a heavily processed carbohydrate, which rapidly enters the bloodstream.
Some of the benefits of sprouted grains include increased digestibility, increased absorption of minerals, increased antioxidants (including vitamin C and B vitamins), increased fiber, and a source of complete protein.
In addition to sprouted grains, other minimally-processed, intact whole grains are also good carbohydrate choices, including whole or steel-cut oats; wild, brown, or red rice; amaranth; buckwheat groats; kamut or spelt grains; maize; millet; and barley.
