HEALTH BENEFITS: 

1. Boosts Nutritional Value: Sprouting seeds, such as alfalfa, lentil, and broccoli, significantly enhance their nutritional profile. The sprouting process increases vitamin content, particularly Vitamins B, C, and E, making these tiny powerhouses a vital component for a nutrient-rich diet. Sprouting also boosts the availability of minerals like iron and magnesium, ensuring your body can more easily absorb these essential nutrients.
2. Enhances Digestive Health: Sprouted seeds are a boon for gut health, primarily because sprouting breaks down some of the starches into simpler sugars, making them easier to digest. Additionally, the process increases the amount of soluble fiber in seeds, which aids in regular bowel movements, prevents constipation, and may contribute to a healthy gut microbiome.
3. Supports Heart Health: Incorporating sprouted seeds into your diet can have a positive impact on heart health. The sprouting process increases the concentration of heart-healthy nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and reduces the presence of antinutrients, which can inhibit the absorption of beneficial compounds. Furthermore, the higher fiber content helps in managing cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
4. Natural Detoxifier: Sprouted seeds contain higher levels of antioxidants compared to their unsprouted counterparts. These antioxidants play a crucial role in detoxifying the body by neutralizing harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases. The sprouting process also increases the seeds' chlorophyll content, which further supports the body's natural detox mechanisms.
5. Versatile and Economical Superfood: Not only are sprouted seeds packed with nutrients, but they are also incredibly versatile and economical. They can be grown at home with minimal equipment, making them an accessible way to boost your diet's nutritional value. From salads and sandwiches to smoothies and stir-fries, sprouted seeds can easily be incorporated into various dishes, adding a crunchy texture and a nutritional punch without breaking the bank.

SPROUTING DIRECTIONS:

Soak: Put 1-2 Tbsp. seed in a wide mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Refill jar with water and soak 4-12 hours. Drain well and invert jar at an angle on a sprouting or draining rack, or in a bowl or drain rack.

Rinse: Twice a day, refill jar with cold water, swirl, and drain well.

Enjoy! Ready to eat in 5 days. Refrigerate to store. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry. If you need to store immediately after rinsing, spin dry first.)

HELPFULL TIPS:

Some sprouts tend to clump together as they grow. To separate, fill the jar with water, remove the screen and stir gently with a fork during the regular rinse. Remove hulls if desired. Drain well as usual.

The drier they are the better sprouts keep. Be sure to let sprouts grow another half day after the final sorting rinse before storing in the fridge. Optional: put folded paper towel on top of the sprouts in the jar. Put lid on and refrigerate turned upside down. This removes excess moisture.

If your home is very warm during the summer months, it may help to rinse the sprouts three times a day with cold water. Stir gently if clumping.

To remove the hulls and unsprouted seeds from leafy sprouts, use a special sorting rinse. Pull sprouts out of the jar into a large bowl filled with water. Swish gently using fingers to separate the tangled roots. Most hulls will separate and rise or sink. Discard the hulls. Collect the sprouts back to the jar with or without aid of a strainer. Return the sprouting closure and drain so you can continue for half a day more of sprouting.

Some brassicas (cabbage family) like radish and broccoli develop very fuzzy root hairs the longer you leave them undisturbed and these can be mistaken for mould. You will even see these after a few days of storage in the fridge. Stirring and rinsing removes the root hairs for a time.
