What is Sprouting? Seeds are extremely durable and can remain viable for many years in a dormant state. Enzyme inhibitors help to preserve the seed in this state. During sprouting, which is also known as germination, the seed or grain comes to life when conditions are optimal. This requires the right level of moisture and the correct temperature. As a result of the sprouting process the enzyme inhibitors are broken down, unlocking the starches and nutrients contained within the endosperm of the seed which allows these nutrients to be utilised by the seed and the growing sprout.

The sprouting of seeds and grains increases the bio-availability of the nutrients and vitamins to the human body.

Due to the significant effects of germination, sprouted grains and cereals have become popular and widely accepted as functional foods and functional ingredients.

Activated Nuts

Stone Milled Flours

We mill our ancient grains in a traditional way using a stone mill, a technique that has remained largely unchanged since early times.

Soaking removes bitterness and enhances the natural flavour of the nut. These soaked, organic nuts have nothing added. They are high in Omega 3 and a source of phosphorus and Vitamin E.

Stone milled flour is produced when the grain is ground between two mill stones. Stone milled flours tend to have a richer flavour and texture, and are widely used by artisan bakers. Unlike high speed rollers, Linwoods use millstones to ensure the most nutritious parts of the whole grain remain, including the bran or germ.
