Calories in Sprouted Almonds?

[Guest guest]

Hello. I have been all over the web trying to find the calories in

sprouted almonds. I have come up with everything from 100 cal/ounce

to 173 cal/ounce. Does anyone know anything more definitive? Thank you.

Hi Hergert:

I don't see any reason why the number of calories after sprouting

would be any different from those of the original nuts. Certainly

some of the fat in the nuts will be turned into other nutrients, but

energy cannot be created or destroyed ................ only

converted to a different form.

Correction please if I am missing something here.

[Also, the amount of conversion will depend on how long the sprouts

are left before consumption. A sprout that is just emerging from the

nut will have had hardly any conversion at all. At the other end of

the scale, when the sprout is huge much of the fat will have been

converted. So having a single number for 'almond sprouts' for any

measure is unrealistic, since the nutrient amounts/types will vary

widely depending on how large the sprouts are at the time of

measurement.]
