Studies at major universities reach the same conclusion: The nutrition in sprouts is GREATER than in the seed before it is sprouted. When wheat sprouts, the vitamin A doubles, C goes up 600% and E increases 300%. That spells ACE, the anti-oxidant triad. Cool yes?To start, all you need is:
1. Seeds to sprout. Start with wheat. It's the easiest to master.
2. A wide mouth jar. At least a quart. Gallon jars really produce.
3. A Rinse Drain System e.g. Plastic window screen, cheese cloth, nylon net stocking.
4. A Rubber band, Jar ring, string - Anything to keep the screen over the mouth of the jar.Get some grain from a local progressive food store or health food stores. Do not use seed grain treated for planting as it may be imbued with injurious chemicals.
In the evening, fill the jar about 25% full of grain. Put on the cover system. (netting held on with rubber band etc.) Put in enough water to cover the grain, swish it around a bit and drain of dust and debris.
Put in some more water covering the grain. The grain will swell so you need to cover the grain plus 25%. Let it soak overnight.
In the morning drain the water and rinse the grain until the water is clear. The water should appear cloudy when you first drain last night's water. The grain give off a fungicide. Some people drink it. We don't think you should.
It is possible to eat the wheat at this point. However, the germination process has not really kicked in. Vitamin content actually increases within the next 24 hours.
Rinse until the water is clear. Leave the jar tilted so that it may drain fully. In the evening rinse and drain, again leaving the jar tilted.
Optional: Cover the jar with a towel keeping the light out. This is like being in earth to the grain.
Continue to do this each morning and evening until you notice the grain beginning to sprout and volume of the grain will be about double.
This only takes 2 to 4 days, depending on the grain and temperature.
It's good for a week to 10 days if stored in the refrigerator.
You can enjoy wheat sprouts in salads, sandwiches, soups, morning cereal, omelets, pizza, breads, cookies and whatever you can imagine.
Sprouts are bursting with growth. When any seed is in its first burst of life, the energy of that plant is at its highest. If we ingest that energy it gives us more energy. While we can't prove this theory we can experiment with our own bodies to see if it is gives us energy. It works for lots of folks.
