Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I ate sprouted lentil, sprouted garbanzo, sprouted peas, and sprouted mung with no problem and they are organic. I grow them myself and I think some just cannot eat them and some can like us. Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Once sprouted it is no longer a seed but a plant and the chemistry has changed. Eat them raw. Seeds are Potential plants but until germinated they are as hard to digest as cooked foods. Soaking nuts overnight is actually starting that process but it's much better to leave them until they sprout. If they don't sprout the chi was already gone and I won't eat them, even raw. rusty - " Ken R.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi Ken, Need to start sprouting myself again as it has been a while. Maybe check out sunorganics.com for some different ideas. They are running a sale now too. Good luck to you. Health and blessings, Tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I visit Indian grocery stores. They have a wide assortment of beans .. all of which sprout. They texture & flavors are very different then what we normally see here in the States.

Avocado-Dill Dressing 1 cup celery or cucumber juice 1 garlic clove, small 1 scallion, small & chopped 1 red pepper, small & chopped 1 Tbs dill, fresh & chopped 1 avocado, cut in chunks 2 Tbs lemon juice 1/2 tsp sea salt, or miso, or liquid aminos maple syrup to taste Combine all ingredients into blender.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Ken, Have there been any heatlh benifits observed? Frank " Ken R. Anderson " <prayken wrote: I have reached the point in my sprouting where I now eat them daily. I do not eat breakfast, and my first meal of the day is a sprout salad at noon. In it I put the following sprouts: alfalfa, clover, broccoli, mung, sunflower, and pea - all raw. I have a batch of lentil and chickpea on the way, and plan to use these as raw as well. When I fist started doing this the gas was horrible. Some pain, and the flatulence was frequent, and stong enough to peel the paint off the wall. Thank God my system seems to have adapted. -smile- Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I could grow and add to this mix? And, I use a commercially prepared low fat ranch dressing. I would be interested in any salad dressings/receipes you might recommend. Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm sorry I can't remember who posted the http://sproutpeople.com website, but thanks to whomever it was. I ordered their " Best of the Best Kit " which is on sale this week. It turns out they are local to me (it's a husband/wife operation) and the husband needed to be in my neighborhood that day, so he dropped off my order that afternoon and I had the sprouts started right away. (It also turns out we have mutual friends in common so it really is a small world.) I just harvested my first sprouts. I started with the " San Francisco Mix " which seemed appropriate. I tried some of the sprouts plain and didn't care for them at all, but I like their nutty crunchiness as part of my big salad. I also dug through the old posts where sprouting mixes were discussed. It was last August that a couple people mentioned they liked the sprouting mixes from Frontier, but I didn't see which of the mixes they preferred. (I went to the website and they have 3 mixes: salad mix, sandwich mix, and stir-fry mix.) If anyone has a particular mix they like, I'd like to hear about it. Sprouts are really packed with nutrition, so I think this is a good addition to my diet. Thanks! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 What a coincidence Sharon. Yes it is a very small world isn't it. nothing like the personal service they were able to provide you. Hope you enjoy the sprouts. I love them in pita pockets with other veggies, hummus or falafel balls. Yummmmm.
