How does the quinoa germination process work to ensure a high concentration of B-vitamins?Updated 10 months ago
The production process of the B-complex powder product, which includes germination and vitamin extraction, includes a careful process and selected procedures to preserve the maximum bioavailability of the nutrients contained.
How we get B-vitamins from quinoa seeds:
1. Selection of the highest quality quinoa grains
First of all, we select the best organic quality quinoa seeds. We emphasize that this ancient pseudo-grain is not genetically modified and does not contain any pesticides or other chemicals.
2. Soaking quinoa in nutrient solution
Thoroughly cleaned seeds are then, for a certain time, immersed in a special nutrient solution of group B vitamins. This process activates enzymes and starts the germination process.
3. Activation of quinoa grains by sprouting
The germination process usually takes 2 to 4 days. During this time, the seeds soaked in the nutrient solution absorb the contained vitamins and begin to activate the germination process.
4. Drying sprouts at a low temperature
Subsequently, the sprouted quinoa seeds are carefully dried at a low temperature to remove moisture and preserve maximum nutritional values. Low-temperature drying prevents the degradation of temperature-sensitive vitamins and minerals.
5. Grinding the dried quinoa sprouts into a powder
After gentle drying and removal of moisture, the sprouts are finely ground into a powder. The resulting product contains a concentrated amount of group B vitamins that are easily absorbed by the body.
