Sprouted foods are incredibly nutritious for you!
They are lower on the glycemic index than their un-sprouted counterparts. When seeds are allowed to sprout, they use a large amount of stored glucose as an energy source in order to make “sprouting” happen. You probably know glucose by its more common name sugar. Since the plant saps up that glucose while sprouting, it means that the end product is lower on the glycemic index. On top of that, sprouted foods have a higher nutrient content — the sprouting process “allows the hard shell of the seed to break open, releasing and retaining more protein, healthy fat, and minerals — and sprouted foods are also easier for you to digest! This is mainly due to the fact that they have hucked and removed that hard outer shell, they are much easier for your digestive system to process. This is great news for those of us that aren’t necessarily gluten-sensitive but have a harder time with grains.
Yet, while sprouted foods — grains, legumes, and seeds — are a great option to reap all of these benefits, what about just the sprouts themselves?
Turns out sprouts retain all of these wonderful qualities as well.
Take broccoli sprouts. These little green sprouts happen to be one of nature’s top cancer-fighting plant-based foods due to high content levels of a compound called sulforaphane. What is sulforaphane? It’s an “anticarcinogen and antibacterial compound” which acts as a “bodyguard by neutralizing free radicals, while also encouraging the production of antioxidant enzymes.”
Once you’ve got a kit, like those listed below, you can move forward with sprouting a variety of your favorite foods including celery, chia, kale, onion, alfalfa, almonds, mung beans, soybeans, lentils, and peas, to name just a few.

Heather F. says, “This is a great little sprouted. It looks nice on the counter. I haven’t grown anything other than alfalfa sprouts, but it works great for them. I found if I drain it slowly from the side rather the front for the first couple days I’ll lose few if any seeds. I use a heavy tablespoon of seeds and it’s just the right amount.”

It does a perfect job, and I have zero complaints. I use Sprouting Seeds Broccoli and Friends 1 Pound Broccoli Seed, Crimson Clover Seed, Red Radish Seed, Alfalfa Seed with it, and the results are fantastic.
