I typically serve grilled cheese sandwiches with this soup. Recently, we have switched to sprouted bread to go with our January healthy meals. Sprouted grain bread is made from whole grains that have begun to sprout, or germinate.However, what you might think of as a grain is really a seed. With proper moisture and warmth, whole grain seeds begin to sprout into a plant.The sprouting process offers several nutrition benefits, compared to breads made from unsprouted grains or grain flours.In fact, sprouting changes the nutritional profile of the grains, making their nutrients more readily available and possibly easier to digest.
Our cows enjoy fodder sprouts every morning and the humans are enjoying sprouted bread! You can purchase sprouted bread at your local grocery store, in the freezer section.
