So the last pair trips to grocery store bought bread germinated rather than the bread of normal whole grain that usually buy.
Sprouted grain bread seems is gaining popularity, but I wanted to see if it is actually more nutritious than inactive grain breads.
Personally, I found both varieties of sprouted grain bread bought a little dry and chewy for my taste, but the stock market tells me that sprouted bread is a "miracle" and that it contains more nutrients than standard whole grain bread.
Well, I'm not sure if I would call any bread a miracle, but I can easily compare nutritionally with grain bread not sprouted.

I know that there are probably more healthy breads, but compare these two popular brands, is easy to see what is the best choice. Not only the sprouted bread fair better nutritionally, but wise ingredient is much healthier. Whole grain bread contains three types of added sugar and should artificially add many of the nutrients. Sprouted bread is also a source of complete protein due to the combination of grains and legumes used.
Miracle or not, I think I am going to continue buying sprouted bread although it tends to be less humid that I prefer.
