Indoor Sprouting For Fun and Nutrition
Before most people become sufficiently-motivated to consider growing their own sprouts, they usually undergo a transition-period during which they prefer to purchase their sprouts already grown. If you are one of these people, look for alfalfa, mung (common bean sprout), garbanzo, lentil, and mixes of other deeds, as well as sunflower, sweet pea and buckwheat baby greens at your local health –food store or supermarket.
However, there will come a time when you will want to improve the quality and variety of sprouts in your diet, thereby having the opportunity to become an indoor-gardener, the benefits of which are considerable.
WHY SPROUT:
Economy, freshness, quality, ease of digestion, oxygen, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, no pesticides or chemicals.
