GREAT ! seeds, seedlings, sprouts...my favourite food !



Why eat sprouts? There are many reasons.
In addition to providing the highest amount of
vitamins, minerals, proteins and
enzymes of any food per unit of calorie,
sprouts deliver them in a form which is easily
assimilated and digested.
In fact, sprouts improve the efficiency
of digestion.
Sprouts are also deliciously fresh and colourful.



Sprouts are nutritious. They are baby plants in their prime.
They have a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals, proteins, enzymes, phytochemicals, anti-oxidants,
nitrosamines, trace minerals, bioflavinoids and chemo-protectants such as sulphoraphane and isoflavone which work against toxins, resist cell mutation and invigorate
the body's immune system than at any other point in the plant's life even when compared with the mature vegetable.




Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine have discovered that 3-day old broccoli sprouts have exceptionally high amounts of a natural cancer-fighting compound.
For many years, scientists have known that vegetables
in the cabbage family benefit health.
Recently, they've been successful in drilling down further to uncover those benefits, and the reasons why eating such foods can reduce the risk of disease. Dr. Paul Talalay and
his colleagues, researching this question for over 20 years, showed that some varieties of vegetables such as broccoli contain high amounts of a substance called 'sulforaphane'
which helped support antioxidants, such as vitamins C and vitamin E.(1)
This is another example of the synergy which we often find in nature.
Next, the researchers found when testing
tender shoots of broccoli at the 3-day-old stage that they contained high amounts of a concentrated form of the cancer fighter, 20 to 50 times more than in mature brocoli. (2)
