Sprouts

Bean sprouts contain an amazing amount of nutrients. When beans sprout, the vitamins, minerals and protein increase substantially and the calories and carbohydrate contents decrease.  Sprouting beans increases the digestive enzymes which facilitate the digestion process of your body. Bean sprouts are wonderful in salads as they provide a crisp texture, adding a certain freshness. They are also wonderful on salads, served with all kinds of food and even blended in smoothies or baked in bread. Bean sprouts are also perfect as a light snack. Mung beans are the most popular beans for sprouting although all kinds of beans can be sprouted. Other popular sprouts are aduki beans, chickpeas, soy beans, alfalfa and barley. Ensure that the beans you are using are new and organic. The more 'alive' the beans are (as opposed to old and non-organic beans) the better success you will have.

There are some tools available that are supposed to make your sprouting easier, however I have had fantastic results with just a glass jar and water.
