Essential Eating Sprouted Foods headquartered in Waverly, Pennsylvania, produces and markets the first commercially produced sprouted 100% whole grain flours. This new food, Essential Eating Sprouted Whole Grain Flour, is a finely ground, powdery whole grain plant food stuff obtained by intentionally sprouting, sound, # 1 and/or # 2 grade quality grain that is non-sprouted, and then milled into a finished whole grain product. The finished sprouted whole grain flour is the result of purposefully germinating the grain into a living plant. It is made from the entire grain, inclusive of bran, germ, and endosperm.

Corporate History
editEstablished in 2007 to contribute to sustaining human health through the production and promotion of high quality sprouted 100% whole grain flours.[1] The Essential Eating Sprouted Flours are milled in the first commercial, certified organic sprouted flour mill in the United States. The mill has achieved the rating of Superior from the American Institute of Baking, recognized nationwide as the most stringent food safety auditor of the flour industry.
Essential Eating Sprouted Foods developed the first commercial sprouted flour milling process that produces a high quality sprouted flour as determined by the use of the Falling Number Test.[2] To assure a high quality Sprouted Whole Grain Flour it must result in a Falling Number[3] one half of its original Falling Number prior to sprouting. The health benefits can only be obtained when the Falling Number has been reduced by half (plus or minus 10%), confirming that the optimal amount of endosperm has been transformed into a simple sugar. Essential Eating Sprouted Foods proprietary process has set the industry standard for producing sprouted whole grain flours that contain the highest percentage of sprouted grains prior to milling.
