Sprouted grains are no different than anything else.

You need to read the ingredients. Things that say "whole grain" or "whole wheat" are not going to be processed. However, wheat flour is procssed. You need to make sure that the product is completely whole grain and not just made with some whole grain materials and then additional processing.

100% whole wheat could mean anything these days.

Would whole sprouted wheat be considered 100% whole grain or 100% whole wheat?

In any case, what ingredients should I look at to know its been tampered with?

Manna bread Manna bread, an unleavened (unyeasted) "Essene bread" made from sprouted grains, contains no salt, added fat, or sweeteners. The sprouted grains are simply crushed, formed into loaves, and baked at a low temperature, resulting in a soft, subtly sweet, moist, dense, and coarsly textured "bread" (you don't make sandwiches with Manna bread; it is eaten plain).

You'll find Manna bread at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op in the first aisle past the produce section. It is on the top shelf in the refrigerated case immediately on your right when you turn into that aisle.
