EAT THEM ALIVE WHILE THE
ENERGY IS STILL IN THEM
In the long number of years that I have been eating sprouts I have
read many articles and listened to many arguments about the values
of sprouts. I have learned that most people believe that they are
good for you.
But they do not know why. I have read various
reports about the nutritional
value (and there are many ). Very few
are consistent in their reports. I can only assume because of the
inconsistency that studies were done at different ages of the
sprouts.
When I first started to eat sprouts 40 years ago I remember one item
which made a lot of sense. And had I known that some day I would be
selling a Sprouter to the public I would have kept the article.
Here is what I remember about the article that to this day is still
fresh in my mind and makes a lot of sense about the value of
sprouts.
At the day when a human child is born, God and the
mother gave that child every nutritional value to start life with.
They ( God and the mother ) do not say to the child you will only be
given vitamin A and B. The child is given ALL known nutritional
values plus things we don't understand yet. Likewise all babies of
plants ( sprouts ) are given the same start in life on the day of
birth. All nutrients are given to the sprout. ALL, not just
vitamins C and D, but everything. Then over the next 2 to 8 days it
starts to throw off what it will not need as a grown plant. e.g.
Take a head of lettuce. It has little nutritional value. But that
does not mean there are not other values that we at this time do not
understand. Obviously, the lettuce seed was nutritionally complete
when sprouted, but the plant only kept part of that value as it
grew. Sometime during the first few days the nutritional value
changed to only produce a head of lettuce with little value ( so we
think )". Another way to look at why nutritional value is greater
at birth than later is that the genes of the plants tell it that it
does not need all the vitamins that other plants need or it does not
need the same vitamins that other plants need. So, the baby throws
off those nutrients that it does not require to produce the grown
plant. A baby human or plant always tries to look like its
parents. And
all babies are usually healthier than there mothers.
That philosophy here in this summary made a lot of sense to me.
The most predominant colors on earth are green for plants and blue
for water. That is what God gave us. That is how life started with
the help of God. And that is what we should eat and drink to stay
healthy. Live organic sprouts and distilled water, which is how the
world was when it first began. I know that we will never make that
our main diet, but at least we should incorporate that diet to the
greatest extent possible and eliminate as many of the processed
foods we can. ( which includes all manufactured foods, boiled,
cooked, etc. ) One more point that should be remembered by those
eating any first born plants. Do not eat them within the first one to
two days as the inhibiting enzymes can be difficult to digest. On
the web there are several articles that in some way
re-enforce the statements made in this article.
Why I chose to design the Sprout Grower shown above? Many families
have tried to grow their own sprouts. They tried Jars, towels, or
one of the numerous growers for sale. And there are many. But
most are difficult to say the least and the results are varied.
So, after many tests I found the very simplest and the most
inexpensive method possible. When something is easy and simple you
will do it. When it is complicated or doesn't provide the results
you quit. My development is simple, inexpensive and
guaranteed for life. You can't beat it. It's the best. Made of
the heaviest stainless steel I could order and a food grade plastic.
