Activated with water and germinated into shoots then dehydrated below 40 to preserve the raw nutritional value. Soaking and rinsing the seeds with pure water removes the enzyme inhibitors and the seed begins to germinate. All of the resting nutrition in the seed begins to break down into its simplest components: proteins break down into separate amino acids, complex starches and fats break down into simpler carbohydrates. Meanwhile, the plant starts to multiply in its nutrient content, growing into a sprout, getting ready to become a tree or full sized plant. This results in a sprouted food packed with vitamins, minerals and proteins. Our Sprouted & Raw Organic Sunflower Seeds are a great snack on their own, or can be added to stir fries, salads and used in home baking bringing a nice crunch and a mild nutty taste. Our top tip: nice in salads and savoury bakes.
