Phytic Acid and the Importance of Proper Preparation

The conversation about whole versus refined isn’t a new one. We’re all familiar with it and most of us know that whole grains are preferable. What isn’t as well-known is that it’s important to prepare grains properly in order to receive their full nutritional benefit.

All grains, as well as beans, nuts, and seeds, have something called phytic acid in them. Phytic acid plays an important role as a protective coating that prevents the grain from breaking down prematurely. Ultimately, the grain’s biological purpose isn’t to make us delicious bread, but to create another plant. It’s biologically designed to hold together until surrounded by moist, rich soil. Phytic acid keeps the grain fresh until it’s in this environment.
