Malting and Popping as Tools to Combat Malnutrition
Many researchers reported that malting reduces the antinutrient content and increase the vitamins ( B and C), minerals (calcium, manganese, copper and zinc) and protein content in the cereal grains viz wheat, barley, sorghum, pearl millet, oats, rice etc.

The popping process retains the true nutritional profile of grains while dramatically boosting iron bioavailability, protein digestibility, and dietary fibre content. Some of the anti-nutrients that popping reduces include phytate, phosphate, and tannin.
