May Aid Weight Loss and Blood Sugar Control due to Its Lower Carb Content

The starch in the grains is partially broken down during sprouting, reducing the number of carbs. According to one research, compared to 12-grain bread's 44 grams of carbs, sprouted grain bread had the lowest at 34 grams per 4-ounce (110-gram) portion.

Additionally, sprouted grain bread had the lowest glycemic index as compared to 11-grain, 12-grain, sourdough, or white bread because of its reduced carb and greater fiber content. The glycemic index measures how quickly a food will increase your blood sugar levels. For those who have diabetes or high blood sugar, sprouted grain bread is a particularly smart decision. Additionally, during the sprouting process, the grains absorb water, resulting in sprouted grains having fewer calories than whole-grain flours. Thus, replacing other types of bread with sprouted grain bread may help people lose weight.
