Sprouting for Health and Fun

Soak, sprout and green your way to a new level of vitality! Sprouted baby seeds are power houses of the nutritional spectrum. And, they are the richest source of food enzymes and energized vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.


Sprouts contain all the latent energy and genetic information required to turn tiny seeds into full-fledged plants. Just imagine being able to harness that energy! You can by simply feasting on the baby sprouts of seeds, grains, nuts and legumes. Enzymes Sprouted seeds are the finest source of nature’s enzymes - the electrically charged proteins that drive all life processes. A diet rich in enzymes will enhance performance, lift energy and turn back the clock. Nutrient rich Activation of the enzymes contained within in living seeds is like flicking the 'on' switch. The absorption of all their contained nutrients is enhanced, driving them into our tissues and metabolic pathways where needed. These baby plants also contain higher amounts of nutrients in a power packed parcel designed to turn that small seed into a mature plant. All of these are available to us rather than having been utilized in driving the plants own growth. Enhance digestion Enzymes enhance digestion and the absorption of all nutrients. Pre-digestion via digestive enzymes takes place in our upper stomach. Eating enzyme-rich sprouts helps pre-digest them and lightens the work for our digestive tract. The result is more nutrients in and less energy burned. Fresh There’s nothing fresher than a baby plant harvested from its tray or bowl. Even better than a plate of greens from your own garden, sprouts are still alive as we eat them. Their life force is transferred directly to us. Economical A small bag of alfalfa seed will provide enough mature sprouts to grass an entire football field. For the price of a loaf of bread you can nourish your entire family for months with these small seeds. Environmentally friendly With organic soil or just water alone, sprouts are easy on the environment. Seeds need to be delivered, but the process does not require any refrigerated transport trucks to get them to the supermarket. Recycle the soak water- garden plants love it and the roots and soil from baby greens make the best compost. You can also let some go to seed and save for your next harvest. Oxygen indoors As sprouts green they develop chlorophyll, which is how plants trap the sun's energy and turn it into oxygen. This increases the oxygenation of any environment they are growing in. As the most crucial element to life, sprouts are doing you good even before you eat them. Educational fun for kids Kids love growing sprouts and it happens quick enough to keep their interest. Show them the miracle of life and get them enthused about vibrant health. The wonder of watching the seeds grow into baby plants and the spicy addition to their sandwiches will thrill them. Self satisfying, quick and easy The satisfaction of growing your own food is palpable. No more rushing down to the shops after work for a TV dinner. Just pick yourself a bounty from you own indoor garden. It's quick, easy and satisfyingly nutritious. Just a couple of minutes a day can have you swimming in the most energizing foods. Sprouting is easy: Soak the seeds over-night for 12 -24 hours as recommended in our Sprouting Chart. This stimulates the release of their enzyme inhibitors and activation of enzymes. It is this combination which enhances digestion and boosts nutrient availability. Use a bowl or jar which suits the amount you wish to grow. As the weather warms up you will need to change the water once or twice if soaking for 24 hours. Sprout: Sprouting the seeds enables the enzymes to get to work on pre-digestion- breaking proteins down into amino acids, fats down to fatty acids and complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. This reduces the load on our own digestion and further enhances absorbability. Rinse them two or three times a day throughout the process to keep them fresh. Again, the weather affects this and more is needed in the heat and humidity of summer, and it also speeds up their growth as well. Green: The seeds that we sprout for just a few days in indirect sunlight stimulate the production of chlorophyll, enhancing their cleansing and oxygenating properties. These young green leaves are some of the most powerful foods available. Water two or three times a day and allow to drain. For more detailed instructions on sprouting, see our easy sprouting chart.
