Sprouting RawThese tails are good for you!
Sprouting raw is on the menu! Delicious Easy to grow, Easy to digest, Easy on your wallet!
Sprouting raw is another versatile and nutritious variety to add to your raw food diet, they can be eaten on their own or mixed with your greens, I add them to a vegetable salad I make, they add a nice crunchy texture and look good too! Organic sprouting are rich with live enzymes and full of nutrition. There is a wide variety of seeds nuts and grains you can sprout. Certified organic seeds are a must as you know they have been grown with nature in mind and like minded people who also want what’s best for us. So.... How do I sprout?Do you have a couple of glass jars at home? maybe some muslin? Well that’s about it for equipment or you can get some specially made sprouting jars with special lids, a sprouting bag or sprouting trays which are great for 2-3 different sprouts at a time. Something to keep in mind of the nuts and seeds when you soak them, if they tend to float after you have stirred them a bit they could be rancid and should be removed, the seeds and nuts they should be also unbroken.In the jar or tray cover the seeds, nuts or grains and cover with distilled water and leave to soak overnight or a minimum of 8 hours. Soaking activates a enzyme inhibitor in the seeds, nuts, etc and if they are eaten raw it may mean the your bodies enzymes could be inhibited as well. Then twice a days rinse the seeds with distilled water, cover and leave to sprout for 2-3 days and bingo! You have sprouts! to green them up a bit you can put them in the sun, great for a snack! Refrigerate the sprouts and eat with your favorite salad. Nuts generally won’t sprout like seeds but you are still activating the enzyme inhibitor in the nut making it a living food for you to eat.
I have read that cashews are a no-no to eat in any form as they need to be heated due to a naturally occurring poison in the nut.
So as you can see sprouting raw is something anyone can do, it could be a nice little project for your children to experiment with, when they can see how easy it is and they themselves are watching the growing of a living it can be quite rewarding.
