Sprouting causes improvement in the contents of certain essential amino acids like increases lysine (a key amino acid lacking in most grains) and concentrates the protein. It Increases tryptophan, albumin and globulin, decrease prolamins, a plant storage protein that may be difficult for some people to digest.

Sprouting of grains causes increased activities of hydrolytic enzymes, total sugars, and B-group vitamins, and a decrease in dry matter, starch, and antinutrients. These include amylase to digest carbohydrates, lipase to digest fats, and protease to digest protein.

Thus digestibilities of storage proteins and starch are improved due to their partial hydrolysis during sprouting.”
