Sprouting and Phytic Acid

[2005]

[Aajonus]

There are three enzymes that react just like the phytic acid.

So, even if you sprout it, you still got enzyme inhibitors in it. Not only that in the sprout you have three, instead of one. When a seed starts sprouting, it's then a vegetable, we don't handle vegetation.

We don't break cellulose down properly. We don't have that kind of a digestive tract.

That's why I say stay away from whole vegetables, unless you've got a bowel condition or a small intestine condition that's too over acidic, and for a while you need whole vegetables in a salad, but normally it's not.
