Why Sprouted Flax?
Flaxseed is an amazing nutritional food source. What isn’t well known is that flaxseed is difficult to digest and its nutrients poorly absorbed (because of it's natural enzyme inhibitors). This means the seed can be eaten, pass through the body and still grow into a plant. This is Nature’s way of ensuring animals, birds and humans distribute seeds.
When whole flaxseed is consumed in products like bread, there is very little nutritional benefit. Grinding or milling the raw flaxseed allows for limited digestion and nutrient absorbtion, but you are certainly not getting all the nutritional goodness flax has to offer.
Sprouting flaxseed biologically activates the seed. When flaxseed is sprouted, the plant proteins, essential fatty acids, starches and vitamins become available for human digestion, resulting in better nutrient absorption. Sprouting also increases the seed’s vitamin content, which naturally stabilizes the essential fatty acids, resulting in a product that does not require refrigeration or protective packaging .
