The germination process of grains or seeds is an explosion of vitality. All the necessary nutrients in the seeds are made available to the germ. Moreover, these good substances are more easily absorbed by the body. You can taste the healthy power in the kernels.
Almost all grains, seeds and beans contain phytic acid, an important anti-nutrient. Sprouting is the best way to render these phytins harmless. After all, the germination process itself breaks down the phytin to a very large degree. Germinating pumpkin seeds gives you the very best of pumpkin seeds.
Sprouted pumpkin seeds can be used just like 'regular' pumpkin seeds in yogurt, salads, muesli, bread and pastries, or pasta dishes.
Once the natural germination rest chain of a seed or grain is broken, the germs naturally remain active. Germs form and are more than 95% contained inside of the grains and seeds and kernels. Depending on the variety, you usually can't really see them.
But they are definitely there! Sometimes you can also see small 'threads' in the packaging. These are miniature pieces of the germ that have pierced the seed bark and are broken off during packing, transport, etc. That's perfectly normal too, you don't have to rinse them away, you can just cook or use them with the seeds.
