Why grow sprouts?
Sprouting triggers an intense energy reaction in seeds. During germination biochemical changes take place which create vitamins in concentration: Vitamin C, B complex, vitamin E and Carotene increase dramatically. The seed fats are converted into essential fatty acids, proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars and as a food sprouts are more easily digested than the seeds themselves. Sprouts are rich in isoflavones and antioxidants. In other words they are a concentrated, healthy source of disease fighting nutrients - super foods with exceptional nutritional properties
