Sprouts offer so many health benefits. For example:
- Experts estimate that there can be up to 100 times more enzymes in sprouts than uncooked fruits and vegetables. Enzymes are special types of proteins that act as catalysts for all your body’s functions. Extracting more vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids from the foods you eat ensures that your body has the nutritional building blocks of life to ensure every process works more effectively.
- Proteins change during the soaking and sprouting process, improving the quality of the protein and the seeds nutritional value.
- The amino acid lysine which is needed to prevent cold sores and to maintain a healthy immune system increases significantly during the sprouting process, and
- If you are wanting to detox or simply purify your body – the fibre in sprouts not only binds to fats and toxins to escort them out, it ensures that any fat our body breaks down is moved quickly out of the body before it can resorb through the walls of the intestines.
