The method involves providing a native, reduced material quantity containing phytic acid and/or phytate made from seeds containing phytic acid. The reduced material quantity is pre-treated in order to obtain a flowable alkaline, preferably alcoholic-alkaline mash. A solid phase, which has phytic acid and/or at least one phytate, is separated from the mash. Phytic acid and/or at least one phytate is isolated from the solid phase.
