Benefits of Eating Sprouts
Sprouting tends to enhance the nutritional value of the grains, legumes or beans. These contain certain anti nutrients including phytic acid which locks up important minerals. It also inhibits our digestive enzymes that can cause indigestion and intestinal gas. The young sprouts have 10 to 100 times glucoraphanin which is an enzyme that protects the body from cancer causing agents.
Sprouts are an excellent source of :
1. Calcium
2. Potassium
3. Magnesium
4. Folate
5. Beta-carotene
6. Roughage
It improves digestion. When you sprout seeds, the fibre content in them increases. Sprouting helps in increasing the amount of insoluble fibre, which helps in keeping the digestive system in good health.
