Re: great post..
Hi
I do eat a variety of sprouts, sunflower being my very favorite flavor but they take near two weeks to be a lovey little green. I use lentils mung beans alflafa and clover the most as they are quick and easy to sprout but like I said I do use a large variety in general and usually I just mix all of my seeds together that have the same approx. growing time. I use them on sandwichs in salads in place of lettuce sometimes too in omlettes or just eat them alone. ( Try some alfalfa sprouts on a peanut butter sandwhich. Really! Ymmy)
At first I did not notice a difference, but as I became better at growing them and caring for them and could get a great quantity of them I probably actually noticed within the month that they made a nice difference to my life. That was... to faithfully eat them everyday at the very least a cup full or more. More is better for me as I use them as snacks to.
I really like mung and lentils as snacks because I can just fill up the bowl sprinle a bit of sea salt and maybe garlic or cumin or what ever and then eat by hand. Took the place of eating chips and was much tastier and filling.
This is truly one diet change I have made that will never die out. My grandson loves them and my oldest son swears that the two weeks I "shoved" sprouts into him on a visit is what helped him heal from a severe cankor sore on his mouth that the anti-biotics could not seem to help. It is a healthy additions for sure. Fresh greens fiber vitamins minerals and chlorophyll just to name a few. And if you have little ones around they love to help tend to them.
Any way rambling....
happy sprouting!
