Quinoa is one of the healthiest crops you can grow<\/a> on the homestead that isn\u2019t a fruit or vegetable.

\"why<\/p>\n

Quinoa is already a healthier alternative to traditional grains like wheat and oats. But, there are still antinutrients present in quinoa that can limit the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the quinoa itself.<\/p>\n

Sprouting is a simple way to reduce antinutrient content<\/a> and \u201cunlock\u201d<\/em> those nutrients and create even healthier food that is more digestible than its traditionally prepared counterpart.<\/p>\n

Cooking grains and legumes is common practice today, but the way of old used sprouting as a means of making foods like quinoa edible in its raw form. This art may be forgotten by most, but we homesteaders know the power of passed-down knowledge!<\/p>\n
