What happens when a seed Sprouts

  • Stored food & enzymes needed for growth of the mature plant are mobilized.
  • Protein, carbohydrate & fat is broken down (pre-digested) to free amino acids, simple sugars & soluble compounds.
  • Vitamins, including A, B-complex (B-12), C, E & K, increase to meet the growth needs of a young plant. (For example, B-complex in wheat increases 600 percent, vitamin E triples & vitamin C increases six-fold. Vitamin C in a 100 gram serving of peas goes from 0 to 69 mg. in 48 hours!)
  • Essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, iron & zinc are supplied in organic form, "chelated" for better assimilation.
  • Nutrient-density is enhanced at the expense of calories!
