Looking for healthy flours that are easy on the gut and packed with nutrition?
Check out our wide range of #organic #sproutedflours which are:
All our flours are #singleingredientflours made from 100% organic wheat and millet grains , which are soaked, sprouted, dried, and cold milled to retain maximum nutrients.
What are the different stages of sprouted flours and their benefits?
Stage 1: Soaking
Why it matters:
The soaking process involves immersing the grains in water to soften them and begin the activation process. This step helps to break down phytic acid , an anti-nutrient that binds minerals and prevents their absorption in the digestive system. By soaking the grains, the phytonutrients (such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants) become more bioavailable, making them easier for your body to absorb.
Benefit:
• Increases nutrient absorption
• Reduces anti-nutrients, making it easier on the gut
• Prepares the grain for the sprouting process
Stage 2: Sprouting
Why it matters:
Sprouting is when the grain begins to germinate, turning it into living food . During this phase, the grain’s enzyme inhibitors are neutralized, allowing enzymes to activate and break down the starches into simpler sugars. The amino acids and proteins in the grain increase, leading to a higher concentration of essential nutrients such as B-vitamins (especially folate), vitamin C , and fiber . The sprouting process also improves the grain’s digestibility, which is beneficial for those with sensitive guts.
Benefit:
• Increases protein, fiber, and essential amino acids
• Enhances the vitamin and mineral content
• Makes the grain easier to digest and absorb
Stage 3: Drying
Why it matters:
After sprouting, the grains are carefully dried to halt the germination process and preserve the newly activated nutrients. This drying process is typically done at low temperatures , ensuring that the enzymes , vitamins , and antioxidants are locked in. The drying process also helps reduce moisture content, making the grain shelf-stable without the need for preservatives.
Benefit:
• Locks in activated phytonutrients
• Preserves the nutritional integrity of the grain
• Ensures long-term storage without compromising quality
Stage 4: Cold Milling
Why it matters:
Once the grains are dried, they are cold milled in small batches. Cold milling preserves the delicate enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants, unlike traditional milling that can generate heat and destroy these beneficial compounds. This slow, controlled process ensures that the flour retains all its natural goodness. Cold milling also results in a finer texture and ensures the flour is free from preservatives or additives.
Benefit:
• Retains maximum nutrients and enzymes
• Provides a finely milled texture without heat damage
• Ensures the purity and integrity of the flour
Why Choose Sprouted Flours?
Sprouted flours offer a healthier alternative to regular flours. They’re not only easier on the digestive system, but also contain a higher concentration of essential nutrients, making them perfect for those looking to improve gut health, control blood sugar (thanks to their low glycemic index ), and enjoy a more nutrient-dense diet.
Whether you’re baking, cooking, or making your favorite treats, our sprouted flours help you take your health and wellness to the next level.
