I would like to think that they are alkalizing but they proved not to be for our 2 year old. We are dealing with his eczema. We were sprouting our own grains and feeding him homemade cereal for breakfast and afternoon snacks, after about 2 to 3 weeks of this, he started waking up at night itching again. That made us realized that we had been feeding him too much carb, which is acid-forming.
