Excellent question. The short of the answer is yes, every time you boil, chop, soak, bake, peel or blend food during preparation, there is some nutrient degradation. How much, no one knows for sure. I think the question ultimately becomes, should we begin processing/preparing our foods as little as possible in order to preserve our nutrients?
It sounds great but as you probably already know, unless you are growing your own foods in your backyard (cattle included), there is nothing that will have all of its nutrients. Fruits and vegetables lose their nutrients while simply sitting in the grocery store. In addition, as soon as you slice a fruit or vegetable, the exposure to the air begins the oxidation.
Some people actually avoid eating anything prepared in temperatures above 112F. It is believed that this is the temperature at which your proteins and enzymes become damaged.
So yes, while preparing your food, baking, you do lose nutrients. However for most of us, complete avoidance isn’t practical. I would never eat raw grains. And although not perfect, it is still much better than what you would find in your grocery store.
Thanks for the question

Im just wondering, but is it a moot point to make a sprouted bread if the heat of baking essentially kills the sprouted grains, or are these nutrition benefits there because they have sprouted already?
Thank you.
