I typically use sprouted grain bread. Sprouted grains are whole-grain seeds that have just begun to sprout. Catching the sprouts during the germinating process, before they become mature grains, makes the percentage of nutrients higher. Those nutrients include folate, iron, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, and protein. Plus, sprouted grains may have less starch and be easier to digest than regular grains.u003cbr/u003eThe germinating process also breaks down phytate, which normally decreases the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body.
