This is an easy one to understand\u2026<\/p>\n

Sprouting Sprouts at home is very easy and, to be honest, the benefits of sprouts and why you should be adding them daily to your diet, is a no brainer! Plus, sprouting at home can ensure you are getting the highest quality and freshest product.<\/p>\n

What Is Sprouting?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sprouting is a process where seeds are germinated and then either eaten raw, or cooked in a variety of foods. There are a lot of seeds that can be used for sprouting, grasses, grains and beans. There are also many health and nutritional benefits that can be obtained from sprouting.<\/p>\n

Dry seeds become fresh sprouts in a matter of days so, if you have access to good quality, clean seeds suitable for sprouting, it becomes possible to enjoy fresh sprouts year-round.<\/p>\n

How To Sprout \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Sprouting involves soaking or rinsing the dry, raw seeds and then putting them in a container to allow drainage (to prevent mold). I use trays with organic mats in them, but you can also use a glass Mason jar with breathable fabric sheeting over the mouth. The seeds are typically rinsed twice a day and left at room temperature, either inside a dark place or with some sun, depending on the plant. In just a few days, sprouts will begin to form, the seeds will show little “tails.” Most are ready for consumption within 3-10 days and boy are they yummy!<\/p>\n

I add my Sprouts to tossed salads, on sandwiches, thrown into juices or, frankly, the best is right out of the container!<\/p>\n

What can I sprout?<\/span><\/p>\n

I know when I first starting Sprouting I thought of Mung bean sprouts, because I see them on the shelve in my local market all the time. As time went on, I found you can also sprout the following (remember you can sprout almost any whole grain or seed):<\/p>\n

\u2022 wheat
\n\u2022 brown rice
\n\u2022 broccoli
\n\u2022 lentils
\n\u2022 beans
\n\u2022 sunflower seeds
\n\u2022 buckwheat
\n\u2022 quinoa
\n\u2022 radish
\n\u2022 pumpkin seeds
\n\u2022 peas<\/p>\n

So there you have it, try sprouting at home. There are many sites that will give you more information on how to do it and the time it takes. I highly recommend you take a chance on this and try it\u2026 you will never have to buy them again!<\/p>\n
