Rule 17 is SPROUTING!!!

Have you tried it yet? You should!

It’s not just tasty and filling; it is also full with nutrients that you NEED!

Let’s start by explaining what are sprouts.

When I say “sprout” I mean a sprout from a grain or from a seed.

The dictionary defines sprout as “to begin to grow; as a plant from a seed.”

When we grow a plant from seed we need to sprout it at first. But have you ever thought about eating the sprout and not the flowers or the fruits of the plant?

So now we have a way of doing just that! Isn’t it amazing?

We can sprout alfalfa, kale, broccoli, all kind of lentils and legumes, wheat, reddish etc.

We took superfood and made them uberfood!

I use a sprouter to sprout and you can get it in any health food store but if you find another way to sprout, that’s fine.

How we sprout does not matter; what matters is that we need to eat it and this is why:

·         Experts estimate that there can be up to 100 times more enzymes in sprouts than in uncooked fruits and vegetables.  Enzymes are special types of proteins that act as catalysts for all your body’s functions.

·         They increase the amount of vitamin B1 by up to 285%, of vitamin B2 by up to 515%, and of niacin by up to 256%.

·         Essential fatty acid content increases during the sprouting process.

Did I convince you?

How about that is low calories and full nutrient? (The opposite of ice cream!) so you can eat as much as you want and you can add it to everything you eat so you will become more full without having to worry about fat.

NOBODY GOT FAT FROM EATING TOO MUCH SPROUTS!

Eating sprout is how I EAT THE CAKE AND NOT GET FAT
