Delicious One,
I am mad at Matt. In the comments after Monday’s Get Healthy Holly cereal post, he asked me about sprouted grains. I duly dove into the research, thinking it would take just a few hours, and now, three days later, I’m still awash in articles.
Actually, I’m not mad; I welcome your questions, and it’s really fun to analyze these studies. It’s just that there’s very little out there that looks at “sprouted grain cereals,” per se, so you have to go Big Picture and then get reductive.
So! This post was going to be just a wee response to whether or not Sprouted Grain cereals are any better for you than, say, the puffed up and highly-processed ones you find at even the best organic stores, but it has turned into an opus on the idea of Sprouted Grains, period.
Those on board with sprouted grains are VERY passionate about them. I was disinterested, figuring, as long as people are thinking about what they’re eating, they’re not frequenting Mickey D’s. But there’s SO much hype out there, and so many conflicting opinions about sprouted grains, I reckoned I should do a lot of research. On the next page, I answer the hype.
Bottom line: sprouted grains are fine, and if you want to spend a lot of money on your food unnecessarily, go for it. But they’re overly hyped, and they’re not the panacea they’re made out to be, and if you never have a sprouted grain in your life, you’ll be just fine.
Onto the answers:
