How to Make Sprouts

Reader Contribution by Lyndsay Dawson Mynatt

The groundhog has seen his shadow, and so have I. The ruby cans of spaghetti sauce and dark frozen greens dwindle as I crave that toothsome crunch that only fresh in-season vegetables provide. Before I surrender to the winter blues, I remember two small bags tucked out of reach on the top shelf of the kitchen cupboard.  How could I have forgotten sprouting seeds? Sprouts will deliver that pop of wholesomeness, the antidote to the remaining weeks of winter.

Health Benefits of Sprouts

Sprouts are germinated seeds, grains, or legumes. Sprouting is the most basic transformation of latent to live energy with only water, air, and light. When seeds begin to germinate, the starches are converted into natural sugars, and the protein becomes available amino acids that are easily digested and absorbed into the body. Sprouts are living enzymes, providing maximum nutritional benefits that promote a healthy digestive system.
