Why Sprouted Ulunthu? Science Says…
Sprouting transforms humble urad dal into a nutrient powerhouse. Here’s what research reveals:
Bioavailable Iron & Zinc for Immunity
Sprouting slashes phytic acid by up to 50%, unlocking iron and zinc absorption (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry). Perfect for preventing anemia in active kids!
Digestive Superhero
Germination breaks down complex starches, making it gentler on tiny tummies. Plus, its prebiotic fiber fuels good gut bacteria (Food Research International).
Protein Powerhouse
With 25g protein per 100g, sprouted ulunthu supports muscle growth and repair. Bonus: Sprouting boosts amino acids like lysine, vital for brain development (Food Chemistry).
Why Add Nuts? Let’s Crack the Benefits!
Pairing sprouted ulunthu with nuts like almonds, cashews, or walnuts takes nutrition to the next level:
Brain-Boosting Fats: Nuts provide omega-3s and vitamin E, crucial for cognitive development (Pediatrics Journal).
