SPROUTS

Every day eat fresh raw (not cooked) SPROUTS (alfalfa sprouts, watercress sprouts, sunflower sprouts, etc.)

The process of seed germination results in a dramatic increase in their vitamin, mineral and phytochemical content. According to Dr. J. Mercola, „Sprouts can contain up to 30 times the nutrition of organic vegetables! Sprouted seed, nut or bean has a whopping 43 times the enzyme power when compared to the non-sprouted variety! Sprouts are the highest source of ENZYMES which improve digestion of food and absorption of essential nutrients”.

Sprouts are also bioactive food, as they are the only plant-based food that is still growing as we consume them!

Purchasing very inexpensive sprouts at retail stores is the simplest method for adding sprouts to your menu but growing them at home on a large tray with soil is much better. Using good quality soil to grow your own sprouts, you make them organic and free from pesticides and other unwanted chemicals. I make my own sunflower sprouts (video) as they are most delicious and very potent. Try to avoid consuming the same type of sprouts every day for a longer period. Instead, use the variety of different sprouts but the most important seem to be fresh sunflower sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, and watercress sprouts. On YouTube, you will find numerous videos explaining how to make your own sprouts at home.
