Sprouted Grain
Cereal grain allowed to germinate before drying or fermenting, often used to supply enzymes and flavour in traditional brewing.

About Sprouted Grain
Sprouted grain is a cereal grain that has begun to germinate under moist conditions. The grain may be used while germinating or dried afterward; it can also be further processed, including by fermentation. Its appearance and texture depend on the grain, germination stage and processing.
It is used in foods and in some traditional brewing processes, where sprouting can contribute flavour and enzymatic activity. Sprouted grain may be sold whole, dried, milled or as part of a mixture. The term does not specify the cereal, degree of sprouting or whether the grain is raw, dried or cooked.
