Have you ever wondered why sprouted foods are considered “nutritional powerhouses”? For starters, they come in a plethora of shapes and sizes, contain more micronutrients per unit than any food known to man, are easy to digest, and they taste great with just about anything!
Here’s all you need to know about these amazing foods and why they’re such an important part of your menu.
Sprouts are raw, natural, and unprocessed, and many varieties have enough essential amino acids to be considered complete proteins. This living food is the most reliable year-round source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and many B vitamins—all of which are usually in short supply in colder climates around the Northern Hemisphere. Sprouts are also highly alkalizing, which help to bring the body’s pH back into balance, and are very useful in neutralizing acidic states in detoxification.
