I would die of eyeball strain before making it through 4700 posts. So I’m not sure if this has been discussed. My dad used to do this quite a bit and then stopped.
Great source of “live food” full of nutrients. Can be a great source of nutrition/savings for even city dwellers without space to garden.
Sprouting Seeds for Food

“Lots of reasons! They carry plenty of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes, all necessary for the body to function optimally. In addition to providing the greatest amount of these nutrients, sprouts deliver them in a form that is easily digested and assimilated. In fact, they improve the efficiency of digestion. Sprouts are also deliciously fresh and colourful!
Sprouts are very inexpensive (even when organic), always fresh (they grow until you chew them) and have the potential to help solve hunger and malnutrition problems in our communities and in developing countries, because they are so rich in nutrients, affordable, and easy to transport before sprouting. Sprouts are precious in winter, when the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables is declining as their price increases.”
Welcome to the thread.
Thanks for the sprouting information, I agree, sprouts are good and good for you.
As a rule, I make them all winter, it is too hot here in the summer and they are not happy in the heat.
We should all be eating more of them and they should be made at home, not only for keeping them clean and germ free, but so we get all the goodness from them.
I use them for salads of course, and in sandwiches.
One of these days, I will use them in bread, I keep reading the recipes on baking with sprouted wheat.
Those are good links, thanks for sharing them.
LOL, sure you can read 4700 posts, and when you do get done reading them, you can take on the Thread #1, it is only
10,000 posts.......with that I am ducking, please don’t throw that at me.
