In which situation can sprouting be considered a method of improving nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When digestibility and some nutrient availability of pulses need improvement
Sprouting activates enzymes and begins natural biochemical changes in seeds and pulses. These changes can improve digestibility and may increase the availability of certain nutrients, while reducing some antinutritional factors. Sprouting does not make every nutrient increase automatically, so hygienic conditions and suitable storage remain essential.
