Is Super Sprout™ sprouted whole grain wheat flour just "whole wheat flour"? How can the consumer/baker tell the difference?
You cannot mistake Super Sprout™ sprouted whole grain wheat flour for regular whole wheat flour. Super Sprout™ has:
- A different look – a uniform creamy color
- A different feel — very soft and silky fine
- A different taste — well rounded, clean wheat taste (not bitter)
- Better nutrition — micro-nutrients are enhanced and more bioavailable due to the sprouting process
- Better nutrition — products ingest and digest easily due to the sprouting process
- Different performance — performs best at higher hydrations of 85 - 95% and has already accomplished the desired goals of a prefermentation step
- Different baked product – more golden brown due to an increase in carmelized sugars
- Different baked product – products are softer and stay fresh longer, naturally
How do I substitute Super Sprout™ with other flour?
Use Super Sprout™ in all your recipes as a substitute for wheat flour–whole wheat or refined white. Simply substitute with a 1:1 ratio and add 10% to 20% more water than your recipe calls for.
