Sprouting seeds and nuts turns the little darlings into living foods, kick - starting enzyme activity that awakens the seed or nut in prep for growth, and
increases mineral and protein content
by a
substantial margin.
In addition, the probability of a — 1.5 SD precipitation anomaly
increases in spring (P < 0.001) and autumn (P = 0.01) in 2006 — 2080 relative to 1920 — 2005, with spring occurrence
increasing by ∼ 75 % and autumn occurrence
increasing by ∼ 44 % — which represents a
substantial and statistically significant
increase in the risk of extremely low - precipitation events at both
margins of California's wet season.
