A seed (grain or pulse) has many nutritional advantages to you, but many of them are locked up tight by anti-nutrients (such as phytic acid). Once you start the germinating process, that dormant seed starts to become a live plant. Anti-nutrients are cast away, it changes, inside and out, and when you eat that seed, no longer are you eating just a seed, instead you are eating a tiny little plant. The process of changing seeds into little plants is easy, but the changes that happen is huge. By sprouting your pulses, you are neutralizing phytic acid very effectively which binds to certain minerals and throws them out of the body. You will also be neutralizing enzyme inhibitors, which unfortunately not only inhibit enzymes in the actual seed, but can also inhibit your own valuable enzymes once they have been eaten. Sprouting helps break down the complex sugars responsible for flatulence in the gut, making them easier for all of us to digest. Sprouting produces vitamin c and it also changes the composition of pulse in numerous beneficial ways. Sprouting increases vitamin b content, especially b2, b5, and b6, carotene. Sprouting the pulses, makes them become a more alkaline forming food.
