Can I tell you a secret?

Sometimes the best things come in the smallest packages.

Did you know that sprouts and microgreens (which are just tiny vegetables and beans that have just sprouted) can have 30 times more nutrients than fully grown vegetables?

And the levels of protein are much higher!

This is because more nutrients are needed when the sprouts are at early stages of growth.

So if you eat sprouts when they are tiny, you are putting massive amounts of nutrients into your body.

Here’s another secret that most people don’t know about sprouts, and a tip that I learned from Anthony William from Medical Medium….

Sprouts or any plants that you grow yourself at home are coated with something called elevated biotics which gives you an essential form of vitamin B12 that you can’t get from any supplement.

That’s why people can heal very quickly if they introduce sprouts or microgreens into their diet on a daily basis.

So how do you grow microgreens?  I suggest starting with a kit like this.  This is what I did and within a week I had a few trays of beautiful microgreens to liven up my salads.

They really are so easy to grow.  I just spread some paper towels inside a tray and sprayed them with water until they were damp. I then scattered 2 teaspoons of seeds over the paper towels.  After that I sprayed them morning and night every day and in a week they were ready to eat.  I started a new tray every day and ate a whole tray of microgreens each day!

And once you have grown your microgreens. You might be wondering what to do with them?

I suggest sprinkling them on your salads and dinner, or trying one of the delicious meals below:
