DOCTOR RAW – Sprouted oat flakes 1000g

Description

Oats (Avena sativa)

Oats belong to the sweet grass family and, unlike other cereals, have a hollow stalk and a panicle-like inflorescence and have a long tradition as a nutritious food. The typical oat flake shape is created by rolling oat grains. Oat flakes are naturally gluten-free, have a wide range of nutrients and are rich in soluble fiber. Many hundreds of years ago, our ancestors soaked grains, pulses and nuts in water overnight. The purpose of this was to germinate the seeds. On contact with water, the dormant grain is activated. It is about to give rise to new life . Gentle drying of the sprouted seeds ensures that the ingredients are preserved, a long shelf life, a pleasant consistency and an intense aroma.

What happens during germination?

The seedling, contained in the seed, contains all of the plant’s plants. If the seed is brought to swell with water, it multiplies its weight and comes to life. Plant hormones and enzymes are activated, which utilize and convert the storage substances in the grain (carbohydrates, fats, protein). Starch is turned into sugar compounds, protein into amino acids and fats are converted into easily usable fatty acids. The germination process also produces vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E and B vitamins) and omega-3 fatty acids. Substances that inhibit digestion (e.g. phytic acid) or are toxic are broken down during the germination process. The sprouted seeds are very well tolerated and are not felt to be heavy in the stomach and intestines, even in large quantities. The considerable amount of fiber they contain, combined with plenty of fluids and moderate exercise, contributes to normal bowel function .

On the other hand, a high-fiber diet helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels, contributes to satiety and regulates blood sugar levels and the associated cravings.
