Every little seed contains everything that is needed to grow into a new plant when is found in an optimal environment to sprout.
But at the same time, every little seed contains compounds that have a protective role; keeping seed from sprouting until it’s ripe enough and ready to grow.
These protective compounds help plants to survive by warding seeds off insects, pests, other predators.
One of the biggest benefits of sprouting grains, beans, legumes, nuts, and other seeds is that it helps to decrease the presence of protective compounds in seeds that are not very healthy for the human body and significantly increase the number of substances that are in fact high-quality nutrients for the human body.
HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?
When the seeds will find themselves in optimal conditions to grow in a new plant, start a lot of processes into it. The sleeping elements in the seed needed for its growing awake and the process of a new life (new plant) begins. First, its protective cover shoots and begins to grow root stems and leaves of a new plant.
Actually, when a seed begins to sprout, natural chemical changes take place in a little seed. Start a process of producing enzymes that convert compounds in nutrients needed to utilize new plants for growing.
Complex proteins are converted into simple amino acids, sugars in the form of glucose, significantly increase concentrations of Vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene (a form of Vitamin A), B-group vitamins, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, and other vitamins and mineral depending on seed kind.
According to researchers, these nutrients are present in the dry seeds, but with the process of sprouting their amount significantly increases and reaches a peak after 7 days of sprouting.

There are plenty of nutrients in it like amino acids, sugars in the form of glucose, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which are more available and absorbable in the human body.
Eating sprouted seeds helps to raise beneficial flora levels in the gut which means keeping the gut healthy. When the gut is healthy means no problems in digestion and no illnesses in the human body.
They contain plant fiber, that cannot actually be absorbed by our digestive tract and therefore it helps to push waste and toxins out of the gut and regulate bowel movements.
Sprouting helps to drastically cut down the level of toxins (some of them carcinogens like aflatoxins) present within dry seeds.
In sprouted seeds amount of gluten protein concentrations and other food, allergens are smaller.
For literally thousands of years our ancestors understood the health benefits that came along with sprouting foods so different forms of sprouting or soaking and fermenting seeds have been a part of almost every culture in one way or another.
Finally, make a habit for you and your family to eat these various forms of sprouted seeds with your everyday meal. You can buy them from the grocery store, but it is better to prepare them for yourself.
