So Much to Love About Sprouted Grains

Sprouted grains are popping up in products everywhere, so let's understand what they're all about. Hi, {NAME}! [Wegmans]( [Start Shopping]( [products you'll love]( Monday, October 3, 2022 [ ]( Turkey BLT on Wegmans Organic Sprouted Multigrain Sandwich Bread Digging Into Sprouted Grains [ ] By Nutritionist Kirby Branciforte As a registered dietitian, I get asked a lot of questions about food. Like, a lot. I can't remember the last time I attended a gathering where someone didn't pull me aside to talk about nutrition. So, it comes as no surprise that I was recently asked about sprouted grains. Products made with sprouted grains seem to be everywhere, so it stands to reason that people will ask, "What are these grains all about?" So, here's the scoop on sprouted grains. Sprouting grains involves soaking whole grains in water until they begin to grow a sprout. The growing environment is highly controlled and halted once the grain sprouts. Then they can be used like any grain and made into products such as crackers, cereals, and breads. So why go through such a tricky process just to make the same products that are already out there? For one, the sprouting process has been shown to make nutrients in the grain more bioavailable (meaning more of the nutrients make it into circulation). Additionally, the sprouting process breaks down starches and converts them into simple sugars—this means some sprouted grain products may be easier for some people to digest.

While we don't yet have clear evidence, the current research does suggest [Sprouted Multigrain Sandwich Bread]( certain subgroups of individuals may experience better tolerance of sprouted grains.
