Some easy, cheap, fresh, top-notch nutrition for you... SPROUTED SEEDS. Some of the best seeds and nuts to sprout are alfalfa, broccoli, mustard, cress or, as in the photos here: mung beans. Their nutritional value is amazing, see the chart below, and it's in a natural, balanced form which is easier for your body to absorb than in the form of supplements. Mung beans are a great one to start with, they're good for protein,
vitamin C, iron and potassium. (They're what you get in spring rolls). I'm using a
Biosnacky Jar, which is from £4 to £6, but you can just make holes in the top of an ordinary jar, or use muslin etc. I usually put them in a juice with apple, celery and ginger or they're great in a salad or omelette.
SOME YOU JUST SOAK...
NB some of the seeds, like sunflower, pumpkin and almonds, you just soak over night. It still transforms their nutrition, and taste too.

Put about half a cup of mung beans in the jar... |
|
...soak over night... |
|
...rinse in the jar and drain twice every morning... |
|
... over the next few days they start to put out a root and a shoot... |
|
...keep on rinsing and draining every morning... |
|
... you can eat them after a few days |
|
... or let them grow a bit. |

Amazing nutrition... check out alfalfa and sunflower seeds. |
