It's probably just a phase, but I have been totally into growing my own sprouts and wheatgrass as of late. I'll leave it to you to read up on the merits of these healthy little whole foods, but just a fun fact: alfalfa sprouts (pictured) have Vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium, zinc, protein, saponins (lowers cholesterol), plant sterols (builds up immune system), chlorophyll, and canavanine (amino acid that protects against cancers).
Sprouts, goat cheese, walnuts, and avacado on a bed of spinach, tomatoes, cranberries and sunflower seeds. Yum!
Kamut (Ka-moot) grass (an ancient Egyptian grain) sprouted like wheatgrass.
Kamut all growed up. Wheatgrass acts as a powerful detox to cleanse blood (among lots of other cool things).
