Easy Healthy Guide to Sprouting

Easy Healthy Guide to Sprouting

No space for a veggie garden? Winter months setting in? Think your green thumb has gone gray? Sprouting seeds may be just the antioxidant-rich, fresh fix you’ve been looking for.

Here you’ll find info on the health benefits of sprouts, simple sprouting directions and one of my favorite sprouted lentil salads!

Sprouts are incredibly simple and fast to grow.

They will grow:

- in any climate, at any time of year
- without soil and in low sunlight
- without weeding
-  indoors with a minimum amount of space
- to 400% their size or more in 5 days
- to maturity in 3-5 days!

I'm amazed... Seems to easy. I already turned into making my own bread, I have to try this, since I just love vegetables and similar... Thank you so much for sharing.

Okay. I have a jar of orange lentils I'm heading to sprout right now! Thanks for poking me to remember to sprout.

This seems very complicated for those of us without a green thumb. I would love it if someone would sell the pre-prepped version (and not just the mung beans) as I would absolutely eat them if I could buy them!
