If you want to eat healthily, you cannot go past Alfalfa Sprouts. This is a wonder food that is so good for you! Even better is the fact that it is not any trouble to grow your own with a minimal amount of fuss.
All you need is an Agee glass jar and a mesh net screw on lid. These are available from most health food stores at a small price. This bag will make several jars of Sprouts and last a family about a month.
All you have to do is rinse the seeds with fresh water daily and let nature take its course. When you have enough, place in refrigerator and this will keep them fresh and stop the growth, until then leave on windowsill or in a hot water cupboard.
These particular sprouts are super nice in a salad or on a sandwich; they come in a variety of flavours so it pays to check out what is available.
This is a very economical way to feed a family and it is very healthy. The word "Alfalfa" comes from Arabic word meaning "king of foods". Legend has it that horses fed on Alfalfa Lucerne, performed better at horseracing because the roots could travel deep into the soil extracting the better nutrients.
Antioxidants are proving to be very beneficial in every person's diet and this food is full of antioxidants. So what are you waiting for, be brave and give them a go, they are a bit like lettuce and require salt, mayonnaise, avocado of something else that has a bit of flavour to go with them. They are low in calories, which is good news if you are counting how many of them you are consuming.
