It is revolutionary flour made from intentionally sprouting whole grain, drying it and milling it into a finished finely ground, powdery whole grain plant stuff. Sprouted whole grain flour is the result of purposefully germinating the grain. It is made from the entire whole grain, inclusive of bran, germ, and endosperm. The process sprouts, rinses, gently dries, tests, sifts and mills whole grain into flour.
Because of the great baking characteristics, Essential Eating Sprouted Flours can replace all-purpose and traditional flours one-for-one in baking or in making food products.

Flavor and Taste of Sprouted Flour
Essential Eating Sprouted Flour is delicious and unlike unsprouted all-purpose or whole wheat flour it has not been bleached, refined or over-processed. Properly sprouting grain removes the bitter taste usually found in unsprouted whole grain flour and develops an amazing flavor profile. You'll love the flavor. An Essential Eating customer and a career baker stated; "Sprouted flour makes the most wonderful tasting bread known to humankind!"
During the sprouting process the bitterness usually associated with whole grain is transformed into an amazing taste resulting in both children and adults loving the taste.

"I believe sprouted flour is truly the way flour was intended to taste—flavorful, wholesome, delicious and nurturing!"
The Difference Between Sprouted Flour and Sprouted Mash
Food products labeled sprouted are made from two entirely different process that result in entirely different products that have entirely different tastes and textures. One produces sprouted mash and one produces sprouted flour.
There is a huge difference between products made from sprouted flour those made from a sprouted mash, usually called flourless or manna. Essential Eating Sprouted Flours are NOT produced from a mash process, which are soaked sprouts made into a paste for baking. The sprouted mash process skips the drying, milling, and sifting processes used in dry milling, and are usually sold frozen to delay the enzymatic action or fermentation.
The Essential Eating Sprouted Flours are produced taking steps to allow the sprouted grain to be systematically rinsed, sifted to remove foreign matter, dried to stabilize microbial count and milled to produce great baking characteristics. The result is a deliciously flour that performs like all purpose flour yet is 100% whole grain. And the taste is amazing.

Gluten and Sprouted Flour
The sprouting process can reduce gluten and make grain more digestible. Gluten is the protein of grain. It is impossible to completely remove gluten (the plant's protein) from grain but sprouting grain can reduce the gluten. Many customers with starch- or gluten-intolerance have reported they are able to digest sprouted flours and products.
Although many people have been diagnosed with gluten sensitivities, gluten intolerances or celiac dis-ease, many diagnosed with gluten problems are more likely to be sensitive or intolerant to starch. In general, they both exhibit the same symptoms of dis-ease. Most people find gluten easy to digest, but when a body cannot properly digest gluten, serious health issues can result. For those who are truly gluten intolerant, use caution as any amounts of foods containing gluten, including sprouted flour may still create a problem.

Diabetic-friendly Sprouted Flour
Properly sprouted flour is 'diabetic-friendly' as it digests differently than unsprouted grains, as it does not require as much work from the pancreas, which for most patients with diabetes, can be already stressed. Every body is different and therefore it is important to test for your reaction to all foods. It is also important to monitor your blood sugar and follow your health care professional's guidelines.
Carbohydrates that are not processed, are more in their natural state and are digested slower. They have a more complex sugar molecular structure that is difficult to breakdown, meaning they have a lower Glycemic Index (like most vegetables).

Storage and Shelf Life of Sprouted Flour
Keep flours dry and air-tight in ambient air conditions, not refrigerated, and they will stay fresh for at least 6 months if not longer. When grain is sprouted, dried and milled under measured conditions, it becomes a stable food ingredient, allowing it to maintain its freshness and shelf life much, much longer than unsprouted flour.
Do not store flour near foods and products with strong odors. Freezing in tightly packed, airtight container may extend the shelf life past 6 months. If frozen, return the flour to room temperature before using.

Fiber in Sprouted Flour
Today, conventional wisdom recommends eating whole grain flour because it contains more fiber than refined white flour, but it cannot be compared to sprouted whole grain flour. Sprouted flour is milled using the whole grain so it contains the same amount of fiber as unsprouted whole grain flour but without the bitter taste. The Essential Eating Sprouted Flour and Foods are 100% whole grain.
