Nutritionist Bhuvan Rastogi (India) said: "Legumes contain tannins and phytic acid, which prevent the body from absorbing micronutrients from food. Soaking grains and nuts will reduce the concentration of tannins and phytic acid, helping the body absorb nutrients better."

If you want to boost your immunity and prevent certain diseases, soak your beans and eat sprouts regularly. The soaking process increases the antioxidant content, which helps strengthen our immunity. When beans are sprouted for 24 hours, the increase in antioxidant activity is about 50% and reaches a maximum of 80% after 72 hours.

When beans are soaked, their volume increases by 50% or more because of the increased water content. While soaking can reduce the nutrient density of beans, the sprouting process increases their protein and fiber content.

According to nutritionists, sprouts contain almost no fat and are mainly water and many micronutrients.
