Sprouts relatively contain the largest amount of nutrients per unit of any food known to

man. Sprouts produce a spout of power for chemical changes. Enzymes are produced, starch

gets converted into glucose protein is transformed into amino acids and vitamin value

increases. In fact a new explosion of life force takes place.

According to Doctor Bailey of the University of Minnesota, U. S.A. the vitamin C value of

wheat increases 600 percent in the early sprouting period. Doctor C. R Shaw of the

University of Texas Cancer Center found that cancer was inhibited up to 90% when healthy

bacteria was exposed to a cancer causing substance in the presence of a juice made from

wheat sprouts.

Enzymes which initiate and control almost every chemical reaction in our body are greatly

activated in the sprouting process. Enzymes spark the entire digestive system to

amalgamate the nutrients in our food into blood. They are the key to longevity.

Sprouts are enjoyed more when they are fresh. Mix sprouts with other food and dressings,

according to your taste and enjoy eating them. But eat them you must, everyday! You will

soon realize that making sprouts a part of your diet has a dramatic effect on your health.

assimilated even by the children and the elderly. They contain every known vitamins in

perfect balance, necessary for the human body.
