Benefits of sprouting:"A sprout possesses all of the energy, vitamins and nutrients and power that enables it to be transformed from a small seed into a strong plant. At this stage its nutritional value is at its highest for instance, sprouted seeds can contain 400% more protein than lettuce and over 3900% more beta-carotine." from www.energizeforlife.com
There are other ways to grow sprouts besides this kitchen garden, but I really like this set up and the colors look so cheerful on my counter.
We have alfafa, wild peas, fenugreek, mung beans,canola and black urad producing at the moment. I have lentils and wheat waiting to go next.
We are having them on crackers with humus, on salads and in our sandwiches. Power food, quick and simple.
