What Does Sprouted Whole Grain Bread Taste Like?

Want the secret to the best grilled sandwich you’ll ever eat?
Use sprouted whole grain bread!

Why? Sprouting brings out the natural sweetness in whole grains as the sprout turns stored starches into simpler sugars to fuel its growth—so sprouted whole grains caramelize better than unsprouted whole grains.

Because of this natural sweetness, sprouted bread browns beautifully when baked, with a molasses-like richness in the crust.1 And grilling unleashes the full crispy, nutty, golden-brown glory of sprouted whole grain bread!

Bonus: Because of this natural sweetness, sprouted whole grain breads can be made with less added sugar than conventional breads.2

(Sprouted whole grains also become less bitter as antinutrients like phytic acid and tannins break down, too.)

How do people describe the flavour of sprouted bread?

Fruity.

Malted.

Honeyed.

Roasted.

Nutty.

These are only some of the words people use to describe the taste of sprouted whole grain breads.3

Sprouted whole grain breads have a subtle sweetness and more complex flavour profile, sometimes described as having subtle notes of vanilla or cinnamon—even when neither ingredient is used as a flavouring in the recipe.

Why? Because the sprouting process changes the phenols, flavonoids, and other natural compounds that give foods flavour.1

Sprouting really does bring out the best in whole grains!
