One of the most compelling reasons to sprout legumes, seeds and grains is the boost in their nutritional content and digestibility.
After just a couple of days and a drop of water, sprouts and microgreens contain more nutrients than non-sprouted grains and sprouted seeds contain more nutrients than the mature vegetable. Sprouts will often contain higher levels of beneficial compounds, including polyphenols and flavonoids, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
