Hi all,
I know that when sprouting grains and legumes, carbohydrates are reduced a bit. But I am curious about the remaining carbs: does sprouting grains or legumes break down carbohydrates into simpler forms that are easier to digest, or are the remaining carbohydrates "in tact" and therefore not easier to digest?
If the carbs are easier to digest from sprouting, it seems that introducing sprouted grains/ legumes into a Paleo diet is completely safe. I know that lectins (plant toxins found in nuts/grains/nightshades and cause many digestive issues) are broken down in the sprouting process, so I think that only leaves the carbohydrate issue that can violate a Paleo diet.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!!!
