No they do not contain the starch that is dangerous to food combine with fats and proteins. By sprouting. all the starch is broken down into more simple sugars. Here's an quote I pulled from another website: "Digestibility of sprouted products is increased because the cell walls carrying carbohydrates and proteins are broken down during the process. Digestibility increases due to production of amylase. Sprouted foods can be converted to amylase rich food. Sprouting of fenugreek reduces its bitter taste. Germination also uses up the indigestible sugars in the seeds so bean sprouts produce less intestinal wind than beans, which have not sprouted. Bean sprouts may some times produce an allergic reaction in people suffering from lupus. Sprouts are an extremely inexpensive method of obtaining a concentration of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Sprouts supply food in pre-digested form. During sprouting much of the starch is broken down into simple sugars such as glucose and sucrose by the action of the enzyme amylase. Sprouts contain a lot of fibre and water content, which makes it, help full in overcoming constipation." Hope this helps you. May you be happy and free. Om Nama Shivaya.
