There are a great many reasons to eat sprouts. As we age, our body’s ability to produce enzymes decline. Sprouts are a concentrated source of the living enzymes “life force” that is lost when foods are cooked or not picked from your garden. Since sprouts are so fresh, and do not sit for days or weeks in warehouses, we know that we’re getting optimum nutrition. Additionally, due to their high enzyme content, sprouts are also much easier to digest than the seed or bean from which they came.
Here are some great ways to serve this nutritional powerhouse:
• Add to tossed salads
• Try in wraps and roll-ups
• Stir-fry with other vegetables
• Mix with soft cheeses, tofu, yogurt or kefir for a dip
• Stir into soups or stews when serving
• Top omelets or scrambled eggs
• Add to sushi
• Sauté with onions
