Sprouted 坚果,或任何农作物,比没有 Sprouted 的是不是都贵些?Whole Foods 的 Organic Sprouted Pecans 比 Organic Walnuts 要贵一倍。印象里 Walnuts 应该比 Pecans 贵才对。Whole Foods 的 Organic Sprouted Pecans 比 Costco 一般的(非 organic) Pecans 要贵4倍,这价格值得吗?
也想到了发芽的土豆不能吃,是吧?

The Benefits of Sprouted Foods
Sprouting foods helps to neutralize antinutrients, and essentially “unlocks” the nutrients that have been bound to phytic acid. This makes the micronutrients more available to the human body, resulting in better nutrition from the foods you eat! In short, the benefits of sprouted foods include:
Increased bioavailability of micronutrients
Better absorption of key minerals like iron, magnesium and calcium
Easier digestion compared to non-sprouted
Reduced stomach irritation
Improved production of digestive enzymes
Neutralization of enzyme inhibitors
Reduced lectin content
Increased protein content and protein digestibility
Improved amino acid profile
Many indigenous cultures from all around the world understood the importance of sprouting nuts and seeds to unlock key nutrients. Unfortunately, the practice has largely been forgotten by our modern food system, which too often prioritizes profit over nutrition.
