Hi Everybody!

I'm new to the forum.  I am new to raw foods and I purchased some sprout bags and Ann's sprout book to get started.

When I was ready to begin sprouting seeds I have every intention to grow as much of my food from sprouts as possible so I decided to get an opinion from an experienced raw foodist in the community... she told me that sprouts have mild toxins but she told me to rotate from leafy greens and gradually include sprouts.

If I go completely raw consuming only foods from sprouts am I running a risk of any side effects?

I know this may seem ridiculous but I like to stand on the side of caution.

 

Going raw!

 There are lots of contradictory publications.
But the quintessence is, the healthiest way to eat bean sprouts is to blanch them:

The toxin lectin is damaged by heat and the bacterial contamination too. The sprouts are crunchy like fresh ones, if you refresh them with ice-water.
Bacterias are to find both in home breeding and article of trade.

Thanks kim,

I had just heard this once from a raw foodist who does her own seminars and sells e books.

At first, it seemed rather unusual to learn but what do I know I'm a total newbie at raw foods, I just don't want to get sick.
