Welcome to the Wonderful World of Sprouts These remarkable gifts of nature are pure, fresh, nutrient-rich and alive with their vital force intact. If you're interested in experiencing healing, optimal health and vitality, then make sprouts-the food for the future-part of your salubrious kitchen and lifestyle. Sprouts have been the cornerstone of Susan's wellness program since she was a teenager and, ever since, she's been known as "The Sprout Lady." Think about it this way: What food can you easily produce and enjoy whether you are 3 years old or 103, vegan or omnivore or are living in an inner-city high-rise or on an isolated island? What food is grown indoors with no soil, is harvested in two to seven days and is loved by children and adults alike? What can supply your family with fresh vegetables year-round, regardless of the season? What food is edible raw or cooked, and is delicious either eaten all by itself or included in an exciting array of recipes? The answer is SPROUTS. Excerpt from David Craddock's Foreword In the pages of the Kitchen Gardening, you will learn how to become competent on everything related to sprouting: how to grow sprouts,why sprouts are so salubrious, which sprouts are most nutrient-fortified, ways to incorporate sprouts and microgreens into meals and snacks, how raw foods revitalize the body and so much more. You'll even learn about the Essene, a community where Jesus and His family were known to live and their secrets to living 120 years...and in robust health, to boot. It's astonishing to me that in only 2 to 7 days, we can grow nutrient-rich sprouts in a corner of our kitchen, and for only pennies per batch and a couple minutes of our time daily. No matter one's weather conditions outside or location in the world, in any size kitchen, you can grow a garden and become an expert at sprouting within a week or two. I am proud to call myself a kitchen gardener, thanks to Susan's wisdom and guidance in this book. This is the most reader-friendly, beautifully designed, full-color and comprehensive book on the ABCs of sprouting ever, and it will be indispensable in your healthy living program, too. It makes a wonderful gift for family and friends and for anyone who wishes to create a healthier, happier and more rewarding life.
