Sprouts are probably the best food you can have and I personally have sprouts as the backbone of my diet (i.e. every meal for me is large portion of sprouts with other fresh foods on the side/mixed in).
Sprouts are full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and complete proteins. They are also biogenic – meaning they transfer their life energy directly to you.
When the sprout seeds are sprouted their plant hormones are activated, their starches are broken down into easily assimilated vegetable sugars, their proteins are broken down into easily assimilated amino acids, and their fats are broken down into soluble fatty acids.
Sprouts are alkalising, life-generating, revitalising, and full of energy, and I simply can’t recommend them highly enough.
You can buy sprouts already grown from the shop, but I think it’s much better to maintain a home-grown crop.
A.Vogel make a really good sprouting “greenhouse” in which you can grow your own sprouts at home. They also do a really good selection of seed mixes. Depending on the seed mix you use the sprouts will take about 3-5 days to grow. All you have to do is put the seeds on the sprouting tray and pour water through the greenhouse twice a day. Then once they’ve grown pluck them from the tray and store them in your fridge (they’ll keep for a few days).
I started off with a single greenhouse and would sprinkle the sprouts on top of my meals, but when I realised the healing and energising power of the sprouts I quickly invested in a second greenhouse and promoted the sprouts from garnish/topping status right up to diet-staple level.
With 2 greenhouses on the go you’ll have enough sprouts to live on like a cow lives on grass! Don’t worry if you don’t eat them all either. You can blend the excess sprouts into soups and sauces and smoothies, or give them/sell them to friends (and it’s always better to have too much than not enough).
The seed mixes I’m particularly fond of and recommend are (from the A. Vogel range): Fitness Mix, Strong Aromatic Mix, Mild Aromatic Mix and Broccoli. All of these will take just 3 days to come through, except for broccoli which takes 5.
The A. Vogel greenhouses I use have 3-tiers so what I like to do is plant a new crop each day (i.e. have a 24 hour lag behind each tray) and that way I have a fresh harvest on rotation every day.
You can get these sprouters (a.k.a. germinators) online and they’re less than £20 each including delivery. The seed packets are just over £1 each and contain about a tray-and-half of seeds. By growing 2 trays simultaneously I get though about 10 seed packs per week which costs about £10 - £12 which, when you look at the price of a lot of organic produce in the shops, I believe is very good value especially when you take into account the home-grown organic freshness and the high level of quality nutrients involved.
