Like all vegetable matter, sprouts are best eaten raw. This particularly applies to the seeds, as opposed to the beans. Seeds such as Alfalfa and Broccoli are wonderful in  salads, in sandwiches, added to cream or cottage cheese and yoghurt. They are also great added to fruit and vegetables to make a homemade juice or smoothie.

Traditionally, beans are used in stir frys and sprouted beans are particularly delicious in cooked dishes. Cooking will destroy some of the enzymes, but a lightly cooked sprouted bean is still very valuable nutritionally. Indeed, because sprouts create high vitality, those people with serious illness, or a weakened constitution, might be advised to lightly cook sprouts initially and gradually introduce raw sprouts as strength begins to return. They are very powerful.

Either way, our sprouts are grown from organic seeds and beans and are nutritionally beneficial, whether cooked or not. If you can eat as many sprouts as possible raw, this will heighten their benefits.

Some people suffer from indigestion when eating beans, cooked or raw. This does not apply to beans which have sprouted. You can safely eat them without discomfort.

LIVING FOOD SPROUTS

Our sprouts will be delivered to your door in a punnet, and will be ready to eat. You can either harvest the sprouts immediately and store them in the fridge, or you can water them daily and keep them in the kitchen and eat as you feel like it. Either way, your sprouts will have a shelf life of about a week - in the fridge, this is how long they remain fresh, watered in the tray, this is how long they will remain at optimum nutritional value, before becoming too large a plant.

Each punnet of sprouts comes with a sell by date and full instructions. Our Prices include postage and packing to the UK mainland, and are for a tray of sprouting seeds whose net weight (i.e. excluding the punnet) exceeds 100g. Obviously, there will be variances in weight as these are living, growing plants, but the minimum weight is guaranteed.
