Density 58 · -6 vs Grains & pasta medianSprouted wheat scores 58 of 100, a Fair rating that ranks it 37th of 60 in the grains and pasta category. Magnesium is its leading nutrient at an excellent 20% DV, with protein at 15% DV and iron at 12% DV rounding out the profile.
Sprouting is done by soaking whole wheat berries until they begin to germinate, after which the grain is typically eaten whole in salads, added to bread dough, or cooked like a grain side dish. Sodium is low at 16 milligrams per 100 grams, but the score trails the category median of 64, and oat flour or barley malt flour rank higher among grain-based options.
