Why sprout?

Our ancestors figured out that by soaking and sprouting seeds, nuts and grains they became more digestible and provided higher nutrient values.  How is this so? Well, when we soak and sprout, the seed is activated (think flicking on a light switch),  this means the sleeping enzymes inside start to awaken!  Basically the seed is bursting into life (to grow into a wee plant), this is the optimum time to consume, as the seed unlocks all its nutrients and minerals in order to grow.

Just 2 slices of Home St. bread gives you all this goodness!

• 11%  of your daily Magnesium needs.  Key role in regulating blood pressure, for every 100mg of magnesium taken (6 slices of Home St. bread!) on a daily basis, equals a 15% decrease in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes!.. Amazing.
• 10% of your daily Manganese needs. Huh?,  what's that?  Well manganese is very important for aiding calcium absorption as well as being very effective in helping boost the mineral levels in your bones … who knew!
• 6% of your daily potassium needs. Essential macro-nutrient which helps promote conductivity in the brain.  That’s why bananas are called brain food, due to their high potassium levels.
• 5.5% of your daily sodium needs. Great lower level of sodium at 200mg/100g!  Just to note, some gluten free breads are as high as 420mg/100g..
