Are ‘sprouted’ grains ok?

Yes, in extreme moderation. Sprouting grain does consume some of the sugar (normally about half) and, providing it’s sprouted for a few days, is an acceptable substitute. However you still must be mindful of the carbohydrate content. If you purchase from a store, look at the label. Total carbohydrate minus fiber equals the total amount that WILL become sugar. Ignore the ‘sugar’ designation on the label. It means nothing. For example, if a bread has 15 grams of carbohydrates and 5 of fiber, that’s ten grams of sugar you are eating.
