Legumes such as chick peas are an excellent source of many nutrients, but they also contain phytate, oxalate, insoluble fibre, polyphenols and other
compounds known to limit the absorption of minerals (e.g. zinc, iron and
calcium). Sprouting legumes helps counteract these negative effects. Sprouted legumes also cook in about half the time.
The traditional practice of soaking and germinating foods has been used for centuries, but has fallen out of favour in our time-strapped, industrialized society. Growing scientific knowledge of how sprouting reduces nutrient inhibition and increases the bioavailability of specific nutrients has lead to a recent resurgence of this ancient practice.
