Everyone knows that sprouting of macadamia can produce toxic eggplant, so it cannot be eaten, but some foods are more nutritious when sprouting!

1. Peanut sprouts

are rich in fruit buds because they are rich in selenium and citrus. Among all bean sprouts, peanut sprouts contain the highest amount of polyphenols and have the strongest antioxidant ability. Research has found that the content of quinoa alcohol calculated by the dry weight of peanut buds can even reach 10 to 100 times of red wine, and has the potential to antioxidant, remove free radicals, anti-inflammatory and adjust cholemones. Nutritionist Yuxuan shared that peanut sprouts can be eaten as lettuce or cooked in microwave, which can best retain the antioxidant ability of its polyphenols!

 

2. Sprouted brown rice (active brown rice)

Sprouted brown rice (active brown rice)

The enzyme action in brown rice makes sprouted brown rice more nutritious, and the vitamin K, essential amino acids, and dietary fibers are higher than white rice and brown rice. Especially the biologically active GABA, about three times that of brown rice. In addition, vitamin B1 in them is also 1.5 times and 1.3 times that of white rice and brown rice respectively. Many studies have found that sprouted brown rice has physiological effects of regulating blood pressure, reducing calcified sterols and improving obesity!

△ Nutritionist Yuxuan suggested that you can choose to buy organic certified brown rice for commercially available, try to germinate at home DIY:

fresh brown rice is washed and soaked for 3 hours, then wash it with warm water (< 42 degrees), then put it in a cloth soaked with 42 degrees water temperature, and place it in the pot for about 15 hours to obtain germinated brown rice with 0.05-0.1cm buds! Soaked brown rice that has been germinated, and has a soft and easy taste because it absorbs moisture. It is delicious and nutritious.

3. During the sprouting process of yellow beans, the protein and fiber of yellow beans are increased. In addition to supplementing protein by vegetarians, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals in them also increase due to germination, and vitamin C is produced. In addition, yellow bean sprouts are also the savior of drinking bean sprouts! If you are a person who is prone to breathing when drinking beans, you might as well try to germinate beans. The sprouted yellow beans will cause the oligosaccharide part to be decomposed, so it is less likely to cause germination!
