Yesterday we learned all about sprouted flour and grains from the Q & A with Peggy, owner of the To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co. Today Peggy is giving away 15# of sprouted flour or grains to one winner, valued at up to $100!
In case you missed it, I’ll share an excerpt with you from Peggy Sutton on the many benefits of sprouted flour/grains:
There are several benefits of sprouted grains and flours, all of which are an important part of eating a healthy diet.
When grains are sprouted they are converted into a living food with more vital nutrients which are more readily absorbed by the body. Complex sugars (starch) are broken down and as a result, painful intestinal gases and potent carcinogens and enzyme inhibitors are neutralized (digests like a tomato, not a potato). This is especially beneficial for folks with sensitivities to wheat as they often discover that they can digest sprouted grains without any problem (organicwheatproducts.com).
Sprouting also increases B vitamins in the grain, especially B1, 2, 3, and 5. Biotin, folic acid and vitamin C also increase. I have to say at this point that sprouting increases vitamins that are present in the grain. In other words, if I have organic raw grain that doesn’t contain any vitamin C, then sprouting isn’t going to create any. Unfortunately, organic today means that your food doesn’t have any chemicals or pesticides in it and is non-GMO, but it does not necessarily mean that it is more nutritious in other ways for you.
Sprouting also aids in the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc (Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation). Other resources for the benefits of sprouted grains include Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and The Wheat Council.
I also asked, is sprouting as beneficial as soaking grains?
As explained above, sprouting does so much more for grains and flours than just soaking them. While soaking can aid in the breakdown of phytates in the grains which aids digestion, it does not change the seed from its dormant state into a living food (plant). Soaking can certainly make grains more digestible by eliminating the seeds’ natural barriers, but it doesn’t break down the grains’ starches or increase the nutrients in the grains. Your pancreas is still going to do most of the digestive work if you’re eating soaked breads versus sprouted breads. If you’re in a hurry to make bread or cook oatmeal, sprouted grains and flours allow you to skip the soaking and get to the baking, so it’s a real time saver.
How to enter to WIN 15# of sprouted flour or grains from the To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co.
Mandatory entry:
For extra entries (do as many or as few as you feel like – there are a lot to choose from!):

- Follow the Kitchen Kop blog on Twitter and retweet this post (you can use the buttons above.) ***Do it daily and tell me you did so in the comments for more entries! Tell me you did so in the comments. Also, if you like Kitchen Kop on Facebook or share this post (using the button above) that’s great, but again, FB doesn’t like us bloggers to count those as an entry so I can’t do it. Sorry.

I have ordered from them before. Their service is good and I love the handwritten thank-you they include on your invoice! –I now have the sprouted oat groats sitting neglected in my refrigerator, though, because I hadn’t realized they were groats and my husband won’t eat them. And I can’t afford a flaker…:(
Pogonia, hey I can help you! This question was asked in the post just before this one and Peggy answered: “Yes, you can cook the sprouted oat groats whole. They’re delicious that way. It is certainly not necessary to roll (flake) them before eating.”

I hope I’m not too late – I would LOVE to try the sprouted flour. So interested in what was said about changing the way our body processes it from “potato to tomato”!
I know, isn’t that wild? Sprouting changes something so instead of being digested as a grain/starch, it digests like a plant/vegetable, cool huh?

OOOO. Did you pick a winner yet? I literally just bookmarked their page. I’ve never ordered from them, but after reading wheat belly and cutting down on wheat significantly, I’ve decided that I just can’t do without grains, so I’ve been searching for alternative flours for my homebaked bread recipes. I tried a gluten free recipe and didn’t like it. So now I’m turning to sprouted flour and would LOVE to try this stuff!
