Re: Sprouter for Xmas ()

[Guest guest]

- you obviously know much of what there is to know about sprouting so perhaps you can help out. I have been addressing leaky gut/candida since diagnosis in the Autumn and dear Mum got me a sprouter for Xmas but I really don't know what to do with the sprouts once they've sprouted..... any good books you can recommend? Sorry if this is old ground but it is all new to me.

Many thanks - Dawn

Dear Dawn;

The best thing to do with sprouts is to eat them raw ontop of a salad. I

also make a veggie pate and dehdrated crackers, and put sprouts as a garnish

ontop of the pate.

Sprouts are the nuts or seeds with the tails that you grow in a jar. Once

you plant the sprouted seeds in earth, as you do with sunflower and

buckwheat, you grow greens. These are also referred to as sprouts in the

health food store, but more accurately, they are baby plants, or greens.

Sunflower and buckwheat nd pea greens are good for blending into cold soups.

You can blend actual sprouts, such as alfalpha and chick pea, but they taste

a bit chalky in cold soup. I find sunflower and buckwheat work the best, and

have the most nutritional value.

After sprouting the unhulled sunflower seeds for a couple of days, the tails

would be as long as the seed. Spread evenly and not too close to the edge in

a tray of organic earth, with a bit of peat moss, and water. Cover with

another growing tray, and store in a shadey place for a couple of days till

the sprouts start to root. Then move to a semi-sunny location and remove

covering. The last day or so before harversting, put in direct sunlight to

green the plants.

You'll see the sunflower greens need to be harvested and hulled ( remove the

seed encasings) before eating.

My favorite cold soup recipe is Energy Soup, which is an invention of Dr.

Ann Wigmore.

Put in a blender one apple, one pear, one date, four cups of sprouts,

quarter cup of water or Rejeuvilac ( fermented wheatberry juice) and one

avocado. Blend and serve with Shoyu for taste and dulse for minerals.

Good luck! Keep everything super clean and use distilled water to avoid

mould.

Happy New Year Y'all;
