Sprouted breads, sprouted chickpeas, sprouted soy—what’s the big fuss about sprouting these days?

Quite a lot, actually.

Many of the whole foods so essential to our nutrition, like protein-packed beans or fiber-filled grains, are very difficult to digest in their non-sprouted form. Soaking and sprouting seeds, nuts, grains, or legumes helps to not only ease the digestion process, but also make their nutrients more bio-available and eliminate toxins like phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors.

In the curriculum of Integrative Nutrition’s Health Coach Training Program, students learn in-depth knowledge about the sprouting process, getting a comprehensive guide to the different procedures, as well as creative flavor-enhancing tips and essential recipes.
