Sprouts of cereals - they are also called sprouts - despite their unassuming appearance, are very useful. According to research, they are high in vitamins, starch and other nutrients, all in balance. After all, it is from these seedlings that future plants are formed.
The benefits of sprouts have been known for 7 thousand years. In Assyria, they were eaten as a complete meal. In Europe, the peak of their popularity came in the middle of the 20th century, when in 1940 the Dutch doctor Moerman cured stomach cancer with their help. He even developed a special diet based on oat, wheat, buckwheat and legume sprouts. Such food was to be eaten five times a day.
With regular consumption of sprouts, efficiency increases significantly, chronic fatigue is relieved. Seedlings contain a huge amount of antioxidants, special enzymes help digestion and remove toxins. The main thing is to properly prepare sprouts, without subjecting them to heat treatment, so that the "fountain of life" does not collapse.
The easiest way to prepare them is to season with a mixture of ginger, garlic, mustard with the addition of an apple bite. They can also be eaten raw, the most delicious are oat, wheat and sunflower seedlings. Jelly is made from them and added to the soup as a spice.
Grow seedlings like this. First, the seeds are soaked in clean water for 8-12 hours. Then you need to rinse them thoroughly, put them on a plate and cover with gauze. In such a humid environment, seedlings will appear in 12-15 hours. You need to wait until they grow up, but they should not be too large.
Through the Internet, you can order special sprouter boxes, in which a temperature suitable for the seeds is maintained and a timer is set. There are few such inventions in Russia; it is better to order them from Europe.
If you don't have time to grow sprouts, you can get them at almost any major supermarket. However, you need to carefully look at the date of manufacture and evaluate at least "by eye" the quality of the seedlings. If there is a suspicion that they were treated with chemicals, frozen or heated, it is better to refuse to purchase.
