The Health Benefits of Sprouted Nuts & Seeds

Why They're Better for You

​

If you're looking for one of the easiest ways to make your healthy diet even more nutritious, sprouted nuts and seeds are an excellent choice. Sprouting is a natural process that activates the seed or nut, making nutrients more available while reducing naturally occurring

compounds that can interfere with digestion and mineral absorption

​

At Shoreshei Tzion, we believe food should be as close to nature as possible. That's why we carefully sprout many of our nuts and seeds before gently drying them at low temperatures to preserve their nutritional value and delicious crunch

​

?What Are Sprouted Nuts & Seeds

​

Sprouting begins when raw nuts or seeds are soaked in water under carefully controlled

conditions. This process mimics what happens in nature before a plant begins to grow

​

:During sprouting

Enzymes become activated*

Stored nutrients become more bioavailable*

Natural enzyme inhibitors decrease*

Levels of phytic acid are reduced*

Digestion may become easier for many people*

​

The nuts are then gently dehydrated to restore their crunchy texture while preserving many of the benefits created during sprouting

​

?Why Is Phytic Acid Important

​

Raw nuts and seeds naturally contain phytic acid, a compound that helps protect the seed i

nature

​

:Phytic acid can bind to minerals such as

Iron*

Zinc*

Magnesium*

Calcium*

​

This may reduce the body's ability to absorb these minerals during digestion

​

Sprouting significantly lowers phytic acid levels, allowing your body to better access many of the valuable nutrients naturally found in nuts and seeds

​

Easier Digestion

​

Many people find sprouted nuts easier to digest than conventional raw nuts

​

Sprouting helps break down some complex starches and activates enzymes involved in the digestive process. While everyone's digestive system is different, many individuals report less bloating and greater comfort after switching to sprouted nuts
