Recently I got a question from one of you pittas about sprouts and sprouted bread. Sprouts in general are in pitta phase of life so they increase pitta. They are not a seed (kapha), nor are they yet a plant (vata). So sprouts or sprouted seeds of any kind are stuck in puberty! They can create digestive problems (bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, cramps) and skin problems too! You would be better off having a nice healthy grained bread or any grains (all good for pitta) without the sprouts. :)

So, would the high pitta energy make them a good choice for kaphas and vatas?

Hi Babita, not really because they aren’t a “complete” food yet. Any food that is incomplete (whether under ripe or over ripe) is not going to be harmonious for us.
