In today’s third in a series of 6 guest blog posts on our Sunningdale Mills blog, with healthy recipes ideas from Teresa Ford of Take Root, she shares the benefits of adding sprouted grains to a healthy diet.

The Sprouted Grain and Legume Advantage

Regular whole grains and legumes (which include beans and lentils) have many nutritional benefits, but sprouted whole grains and legumes have even more. One reason is that sprouted products have a significantly higher level of antioxidants. For example, the antioxidant power of lentils is doubled when sprouted (see here). Another reason is that sprouting increases our absorption of iron and other important minerals contained in the food.

We can sprout grains and legumes at home. Or we can purchase them after they’ve been sprouted then dried, as is the case with Sunningdale Mill Sprouted Rice & Lentil Harvest Blend. To keep healthy meal preparations quick and simple (yet really delicious), I’ve combined the Rice & Lentil Harvest Blend with a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, steamed kale and zingy Oh She Glows Lemon-Tahini Dressing (check out the recipe here). It’s a nutritional power bowl!
