Sprouted seeds are an excellent source of nutrients. You can grow your own sprouts from sprouting seeds for a supply of fresh, nutritious food which will increase your intake of fabulous nutrients:
Sprouts are very young plants, one stage up from a seed. A seed is a storehouse of energy containing all the nutrients needed for a plant to grow. When a seed starts to sprout the nutrients it becomes available in a living form which is a great form to get them in.
Most of us have eaten beansprouts (sprouted mung beans) in a Chinese meal. Some things are easier to sprout than others e.g. Alfalfa, lentils, mung beans and radish. Dont try sprouting kidney beans as they are toxic when raw.
Although it is possible to sprout your sprouting seeds in a jam jar, a germinator device will produce the best results. It just couldnt be easier. Just soak, rinse and watch them grow.
Sprouted seeds are a healthy and nutritious convenience food you don't need to cook. Once your seeds have sprouted, you can enjoy them in any of the following ways:
* Place in a bowl on their own or with a dressing of your choice
* Makes an ideal side dish. Sprinkle on top of or mix into a salad
* Add to sandwich fillings
* Add to a stir fry just before serving Sprinkle on top of soups or stews before serving
