Sprouting makes Rich Nuts more nutrient-dense and easier to digest.
What’s sprouting all about?
Nuts are actually dormant seeds of a plant. They have a protective shield, which helps them survive in nature. When soaked in water for a few days, the seed will begin to germinate or sprout, breaking down the natural barrier in an attempt to grow a new plant.
Sprouting unlocks numerous biomechanical processes, which in turn produce essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. During this process it also produces the enzyme phytase, which makes the nuts more bioavailable, or easier for the body to digest and absorb the vitamins and minerals.*
Every batch of Rich Nuts is dehydrated right before it goes into a full sprout. This helps retain its vital nutrients and active enzymes, while giving it an exceptional crunch. When you eat a handful, you’re not only getting a great-tasting, organic product, you’re also getting all of the benefits from the sprouting process. It may take us a little more time to make them, but we believe the final product is far more superior in quality.
