7 Great Reasons to Add Sprouted Grain Bread to Your Diet

White bread contains less grain than whole grain. Most vitamins, minerals, and fiber are lost during processing. Sprouted grain bread is nutritionally equivalent to whole grain bread because it uses whole grains. Both types of bread beat processed flour bread.

According to studies, sprouting grain bread has 34 grams of carbs per 4-ounce (110 grams) against 44 grams in 12-grain bread. Sprouting grain bread had the lowest glycemic index among 11-, 12-, sourdough, and white bread due to its reduced carb and greater fiber content.

The sticky protein gluten in wheat, barley, rye, and spelt makes bread chewy. Recent attention has focused on its health dangers. For some, gluten causes inflammation, intestinal permeability, IBS, and other health difficulties. Wheat gluten can be reduced by 47% by sprouting, making it more palatable.
