Our digestive systems cope very well when digesting sprouts grown from sprout seed and we benefit from them being at their peak growth cycle, compared to foods that have been stored for long periods and lose their nutritional value. Home grown sprouts give you control over growth and storage conditions and ensure that the produce is not contaminated with harmful pesticides.
Seasonal changes require the long-term storage of much of our fresh produce, resulting in a reduction of nutrient content as the products age. Other items are shipped over long distances and although they may look good to eat, they have lost some of their nutritional value. Home grown sprouts from your own supply of sprout seeds negates this and is inexpensive, requiring only a wire mesh and a sprouting jar. Twice daily rinsing of the sprouts is all that is required.
You can have a fresh batch of ready to eat sprouts in as little as four days. Choose non-toxic food varieties such as mung beans, lentils, peas, alfalfa, fenugreek and radish.

After their initial sprouting phase you should store them in a refrigerated unit to ensure that they remain fresh.
