Well its a great time to enter the new year and get some of that New Year extra nutritional boost and healthy crispy salad-ness you can only achieve from sprouted seeds.
If you start today by the time you've recovered from celebrating you are ready to munch down on some sprouting healthiness.
The other bonus is that you don't need many seeds or lentils to make a start so its good on the budget.
Here's my top seeds, beans and lentils to sprout:-
- alfalfa
- sunflower seeds
- green lentils
- brown lentils
- mung beans
Soak your beans, lentils and seeds overnight in a little water. You can mix your seeds and beans but as some sprout at different rates I find its best to keep them seperate then mix when youre ready to eat.
You will need about a desertspoon of your chosen seed.
After soaking, rinse and place in jam jar covered with a piece of breathable material held in place with an elastic band. Give the jar a shake to distibute your seeds and place it on its side somewhere not too cool or hot. On a daily basis refresh your seeds by rinsing in water until you have happily sprouted seeds.
Creamy Sprouted Houmous
This was a raw food version of houmous I developed when I spent a month on raw food. Its just as creamy but has that fresh taste and all the nutrition of sprouted seeds. I think sprouted sunflower seeds is best for this but any sprouts will do.
1. Take two cups of your sprouts, clove of garlic and put in blender with a pinch of salt.
2. Add a good desertspoon of oil and blend until smooth.
3. Stir in a desertspoon of tahini and a squeeze of lime or lemon.
4. Serve with pitta, falafel or on toast.
