You can also blend the sprouts into smoothies with fruits and greens

and water. These are very very good and very nutritious.

I second the idea of an automatic sprouter: the initial investment is

off-putting but once you get it, you only need to rinse once a day,

and I do keep a chart of the date I started a bunch, what sprouts they

are, and what time of day I started the batch. I find it easiest to

rinse and refill the water sometime in the evening. And the sprouts

are awesome.

Thanks!

What automatic sprouter do you both recommend?

And I will do the smoothies.

Broccoli is best, you say, for health. Any others in that same

health category? Maybe alfalfa or quinoa?

And for a regular supply, is it best if possible to have two or more

sprouters going?

I think we both have the Fresh Life automatic sprouter. I only have

one, and it replenishes with a large fresh new batch every four days

so I don't use anything else. If I were to need a back up, I would use

hemp bags since I had very good luck with them, but they do require

regular rinsing several times a day.

I use a lot of broccoli, and a lot of fenugreek (simply because it

makes really good tasty sprouts). I also use the French, Russian,

Spicy, and Italian mixes offered by .com in order to get a

good variety. I usuallly make my batches half fenugreek and half one

of the other five.

If you want to keep more going, I think you can start a new batch

while one batch is finishing. I haven't done this yet, but I do plan

to give it a try.

Thank you Joyce, for your kind response, so quickly!

It looks like I will work with broccoli, fenugreek, alfalfa, wheat,

and rye (I like rye, and they say it is better for me in particular

than wheat). At least for starters.

The only sprouting I have ever done years ago was alfalfa, but

fenugreek intrigues me.

I saw the sprouter you mentioned for sale, with an extra level

optional. How many levels can it take? One on top, or more than one?

And I saw the pad for use with wheat grass (and rye), and plan on

using that.

Or is it better to use a dedicated wheat grass juicer such as

sproutman's, or another one, for wheat & rye.

I have a juicer, greenstar, twin screw masticating juicer.

But mostly probably will use the vitamix blender i have, unless

volume gets to be too much for me. then i plan to juice it.

Gradually I may switch to an all-sprout diet, because my health is so

bad. I have been in 22 different hospitals within the last 3 years

or so, and because my conditions are rare and hard to treat, my own

state told me: " This state cannot help you; you need to move to a

different state. " Some estimate a 10% chance to live. With God's

help, I will live.

I am now allergic to milk, egg, tomato, potato, corn, soybean, kidney

bean, blueberries, cranberries, peanuts, almonds, filberts, garlic,

most shellfish, pork, oats, highly allergic to tobacco, many common

chemicals, and many other things. Called multiple chemical

sensitivity. As well as many other ailments.

The above is only mentioned because maybe I am a good test case to

see if sprouts can make a difference in someone's health. The man

called sproutman has a story like that.

Thank you so much!!!

We both use the FreshLife. Look it up on the Tribest web site. Also you

will notice that you can buy an extra barrel to stack them and thats

almost like having two machines. Also, you can do more than one sprout at

a time on the same tray in the machine. Just make sure that all the seeds

you sprout together mature in the same amount of time, ie; broccoli,

alfalfa or clover. You can't do lentils and broccoli. There are other

examples. Just know how long each sprout takes. Sprout People's web site

is the place to check that out. If you can remember to rinse, I can tell

you a fast and easy way to do lentils without a machine or sprouter. Hang

on before you order the FreshLife, I have an web site where you can buy

it wholesale, but its not in front of me just now. I'll send it tomorrow.

All of the green sprouts are healthy. The reason I push broccoli is that

we all know the studies that have been done that tell us that mature

broccoli is good for you. Broccoli sprouts are 50 times more nutritious.

SproutPeople has a mix called French Garden that I am in love with. Look

on their web site for something called HGTV special. You get the French

Garden and broccoli seed, plus an Easy Sprout sprouter. I have two of

them and keep them busy.

I'm not sure, , but I don't think you want to be using the vitamix for

grasses. From what I have read, they should be juiced; they're not

digestible. The other sprouts are fine to blend-- I do them all the time!

Thanks for the tip, Thia!

there is such a thing as getting too much roughage in the diet!

Do you have any idea how much juice from how much grass sprouts?

It may be hard if only a small amount of juice is obtained... and the

juicer takes a lot of time to clean, which can get old if done every

day.

For example, for 1 pint of wheat or rye grass juice per day, how much

sprouts would it take (using the greenstar twin screw juicer)?

And which sprouter is best for grasses, especially if memory is a

factor. the automatic one seems best for my own situation, as the

others have suggested.

Thanks you so much, Earnest~~~

I think that as my health improves from drinking the sprouts, I may

then be able to remember better, and then be more able to remember to

rinse sprouts in a timely manner. Probably best to start with to

stick to the freshlife automatic one.

Who knows, maybe I will again be able to work, and no longer be on

disability! That would sure surprise a lot of doctors!

Looking forward to your freshlife source. I may end up getting two

of them, with the extra layers for each.

Thanks again,

,

I eat a lot of sprouts by combining them with things like omelets,

dumping a bunch in soups at the table, making sandwiches with sprouted

German breads, using them as accompaniments to foods at the table.

I asked my health adviser (I don't do doctors) how many sprouts I can

eat a day, and he said as much as I want as long as they don't

constipate me.

You might want to check out anything you can find on Ann Wigmore and

get her books on sprouting and on wheat grass. Ann Wigmore had a spa

in the center of Boston, and she helped a lot of people regain good

health.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Wigmore

http://chetday.com/wigmore.html

http://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Recipes/Rejuvelac.htm

And I recommend that you find a copy of her cookbook (non-cookbook) to

learn about Rejuvelac. Everything I can find about rejuvelac on line

uses wheat berries to make it, but in her book, she suggests rye and

other grain seeds. I have made it with rye, and I like the taste. It

is supposed to be very good for restoring health. Rejuvelac is a

fermented drink. Here is the basic recipe:

REJUVELAC

1c wheat berries (organic soft white pastry wheat is best) or other

grain seeds like rye

3c spring or filtered water.

Rinse wheat, remove floaters. Soak for 48 hrs. Pour off, drink. Add 2c

water to the same wheat, this time soak for 24 hrs. Soak 3 times. Use

a dark place. Ferment to taste, tart not sour. Use any seed with hull.

We can add a bundle of wheatgrass to while fermenting. Variations

cause different results. Fermentation is faster in warm weather.

Sprouts have helped a lot of people get healthy. Read the Sproutman's

story.

The best price on the FreshLife is at www.vitalityplus1.com. They also

have a machine called Easy Green Automatic Sprouter. I am not familiar

with it, but other people in this group have talked about it. Maybe one

of them can chime in and give us the low down. As far as buying two

FreshLife machines. How many people are you feeding your sprouts to? The

FreshLife turns out a lot of sprouts in one batch. And each barrel has

two trays. Two or three days after you start the first batch, you can

start a second by lifting out the first tray, inserting the second,

scatter the new seeds. Return the tray in progress. When the first tray

is finished, the second is half way done. One thing about the FreshLife

that you are not told in the instructions is, as soon as you see tails

(roots), take off the lid. The sprouts need air and light. Except if your

doing mung beans. You don't want them to green up. When doing mung beans

the process is different. You will need both trays. The seeds go on the

bottom tray. The other tray goes on top on the seeds with some weight on

it. I use three rocks about the size of large golf balls. The weight

causes the sprouts to push up and it makes the sprouts thicker. A world

of difference in the sprouts done this way in a FreshLife sprouter and in

a quart jar.

A pint a day seems like an awful lot of wheatgrass juice, . I have a

manual Healthy Juicer. I am sure there are others on this list far more

familiar with the grasses, and juicers, than I am. Maybe some of them can

answer your questions.

I've been looking through Ann Wigmore's Recipes for Longer Life, and I

think you would really benefit from having this book. It is available

on Amazon.com used books for a good price -- check

http://www.amazon.com/Recipes-Longer-Life-Ann-Wigmore/dp/0895291959

It covers all kinds of ways of using sprouts to make juices,

dressings, sauces, and more, much more than just the Rejuvelac (which

is a worthwhile drink -- but I only like it made of rye).

There are many flashier raw cook books out now, but this one is very

straightforward, very simple to use, and focuses on healing.

I found a comparison of automatic sprouters:

http://www.naturalnews.com/z021475.html

It was on the one company's website, but I thought it informative.

All of your different comments have been very helpful and are

appreciated.

So it looks like I may wait just a bit for my money to come in, and

then get the more expensive automatic sprouter.

My health needs are such that just sprouting to add sprouts to other

foods, or to use in sandwiches, will not be enough.

I will need to concentrate on the most nutritious ones, mostly

juicing to maximize the benefit, but keeping it semi-edible by not

for example sprouting only garlic for the juice.

Also, just curious:

Anybody sprout tomato seed?

Did it taste good?

Thank you!

[Guest guest]

, you may want to consider the GoGreen. It produces more than any other

one I have seen any info on. The large one is even double that. They also

have a comparison chart on their site. It's one I have seriously

considered. You can buy their plans and build your own with local parts, or

have them build it for you.

Take a look:

From reading the review of the sprouters on the naturalnews site, it

appears that the writer did not use the FreshLife sprouter correctly:

you change the water every day, and it does not get dark murky. And it

is not as difficult as he says it is to clean it if you clean the

water tank every time you change the water. I like the sound of the

other one, but the FreshLife is doing a good job for me, and I am not

unhappy with it. If it fails, I will deal with the company, but unless

it does, I am getting great fresh tasting sprouts from it. If I ever

have to replace it, I will look at all the ones available, and make my

decision.

Altho you can eat the seeds of tomatoes, you cannot eat the plant or

sprouts. They are toxic to humans.

Thanks Thia!

At their site, I found something I was looking for: the amount of

sprout space per quantity of wheatgrass juice.

Here is wh they said:

" One 3 " x13 " tray yields 2-3 ounces of wheatgrass juice – depending on

your lighting, temperature (grows faster in summer) and how good your

juicer is.

The 6 " x13 " tray in the GoGreen Sprouter gives SIX ounces of juice,

using just under half a cup of wheat berries (seed). "

I like it especially for its quietness. I am disabled and am

especially sensitive to sounds. Sometimes I pass out and get another

ambulance ride simply by being exposed to certain types of sounds.

However, I live in an apartment where I do not have the privilege of

hooking anything up to a water line. I would need a unit that is

self-contained, without the need to connect to a water line.

As far as I could see, the GoGreen unit must be connected to a water

line, and so because of that it would not work. I will try to

contact them about that to see if there are other possibilities.

thank you!

I have to agree with Joyce. I have been using my FreshLife for three

years and am completely happy with it. It sits on the corner or my

kitchen sink. There are no hoses hooked up to it. No external clocks. It

is not too noisy. Some times I have to check to make sure its running

because its so quiet. Every morning I change the water. On day one and

two the water goes down the drain. After that it goes in the garden or

waters house plants. It uses one gallon of water a day. I rinse the water

reservoir daily and wipe it down. At the end of each batch, I wash the

machine with soap and water. There is no more work to it than doing

dishes. A friend in my garden club introduced me to the FreshLife and she

also is very happy with it. About two years ago, hers got too noisy for

her and the company fixed it for her.

My FreshLife is not as quiet as Ernest's is, and I did call the

company. They said they could fix it for me, but I would have to ship

it back for them to work on it: I am not willing to be without it for

that length of time. So, they recommended a hot water flush: this just

means that the water barrel is filled with very hot water and stands

for about 15 - 20 minutes while I fill a gallon container with

purified water and do some other things in the kitchen. When the time

is up, I dump the hot water, fill the water barrel with purified

water, and put it all back together. The sound is diminishing, but I

still know that it is running. Not annoying at all. Mine sits on a

table in the kitchen and takes very little space.

Each batch makes enough sprouts for about five days for me to have

sprouts at nearly every meal.

Joyce

[Guest guest]

Yeah...I rent a room, so ditto here. :~( It's the only reason I don't

have one.

They *do* have a suggestion of hooking it to a pump sprayer, but it needs to

be pumped for pressure. The info I've gotten from them on that varies from

pumping once daily, to pumping it several times a day. Several times a day

would defeat my purpose, so I haven't taken that chance. They *are* working

(or claim to be) on a better reservoir set up, for those like us unable to

access a water source. I'm not sure when they will have that ready. I

talked to them back in May, and I am on the waiting list to hear about it.

By the way, you don't need to tap into a water line. You *can* hook it

directly to a sink faucet. They even sell a pass-through adapter so you can

still use the sink while it's hooked up. Maybe that could work for you?

I also want to mention that while they do have an affiliate plan, I am not

signed up with them, so I don't get anything for recommending them. (Didn't

want anyone thinking this was a tad spammy!)

I spoke with GoGreen today, and they told me they should be out with

that new model in about 3 months. It would involves something like a

5 gallon bottle, from which some kind of pump is attached. But until

then....

but i am not yet certain which is best for me.

i cannot remember to change water every day.

some sounds are hard for me (example, i passed out in sams club store

a day or two ago because of a certain sound there.)

and i cannot hook up to a water source.
