No. Seeds are super concentrated proteins, fats and some carbohydrates and much harder to digest than their sprouted forms. Sprouts are much lower concentrations of those elements in that they are diluted with water and are enlivened with live enzymes, unlike the dry counterparts and are predigested by the sprouting process so they are very easily assimilated by our digestive organs as opposed to the raw seeds themselves in their dry dormant state. Sprouts are softer and easier to chew up and that is another factor because the more a food is broken down thru chewing the more nutrients that are utilized by our bodies otherwise the unchewed particles of vegetables or seeds just pass thru us undigested. You have probably noticed this when you eat corn or peanuts and see pieces of the unchewed parts in your poop. That is not an indication that you can't digest peanuts or corn just that the unchewed parts couldn't be broken down in our stomach or intestines, only the thoroughly chewed parts were digested.
