Sprout your Way to Optimal Health!


As many of you know, I am extremely dedicated to sustainable eating. I devote much of my time to learning new ways to eat sustainably and to live green! My latest adventure has been sprouting! I am starting with fenugreek seeds and red lentils. The lentils are getting there (but I think they may not be working because they were "split" lentils). The fenugreek seeds became moldy! ACCCK! But you know me, I refuse to give up on this adventure. This weekend I will try lima beans and mung beans. You better believe that if I get them to sprout, I will share my images here!


I urge you all to try sprouting. It's an excellent way to get nutrients. Sprouted legumes and seeds have 700X the nutrients of their non-sprouted counterparts. They are phenomenal for antioxidants, fiber, and protein. They will be a necessary component of my spring detox (don't worry you can buy them at the store; you won't be required to make your own). If you do DARE, here's an excellent resource on how to start your sprouts!
