Growing Sprouts
Growing and eating sprouts can be done at home any time of the
year. The custom of sprouting beans is more than twice as old as the Wall of China.

health-giving sprouts in 2439 BC. Today, with the exception of natural or health food
advocates, the majority of Americans are either unfamiliar with sprouts or are exposed
to them only through Chinese cuisine. This is a shame because the nutritional quality of
the proteins found in legumes and grains is greatly improved during sprouting.
