Reasons to grow your own sprouts

  • Nutrition: Sprouts are baby vegetables in their prime. They contain nutrients including proteins, vitamins and minerals, and enzymes.  
  • Freshness: Eaten when picked. No loss of nutrients sitting on the produce shelf. Great fresh, flavors!
  • Variety: You can grow more varieties of salad greens than are available in the supermarket .Your salads will come alive with flavor!
  • Digestibility: As baby plants, their delicate cell walls easily release elemental nutrients. Abundant enzymes make them easier to digest.
  • Space & Time: It’s Easy! Just add water! No soil. No bugs. No green thumb required. No special lights. One pound grows in only 9 inches of space.
  • Economics: Seeds can multiply many times their weight and you can save money by growing your own rather than buying the grown sprouts.

Red Clover is a fast growing plant. Even in its early stage, Red Clover sprouts provide the full flavor of the fully grown adult vegetables. Red clover is a cousin of alfalfa with bigger leaves and a fresh garden flavor. Red clover looks so much like alfalfa that many people can’t distinguish between either their seeds or their sprouts. But red clover is a lighter green with a slightly more pronounced, mild-sweet flavor. While alfalfa can hold onto its seed jackets tightly, red clover does an excellent job of shedding them. Red Clover contains vitamins A, B, C, E, & K, and in minerals and trace elements. Botanical Name: Trifolium pratense. Origin: Canada

Alfalfa is a hearty mild, leafy green with a neutral flavor that makes a perfect lettuce substitute, and is also great in juice. Alfalfa sprouts provide the full flavor of the fully grown adult vegetable. In the case of alfalfa, the adult plant’s leaves are often just a little bit too chewy to be considered delectable by people, but its baby leaves, the sprouts, are perfectly scrumptious. Alfalfa sprouts contain antioxidants and phytoestrogens as well as vitamins A, C, K, and B6, calcium, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese, protein, thiamin, pantothenic acid, calcium, and iron. Botanical Name: Medicago sativa. Origin: Canada
