Food Storage and Sprouting

Author: Gary Palmer

Wheat Grass, sprouting and food storage

There is no reason that wheat grass and sprouts could not or should not be integrated into a food storage program.  After all, food storage is designed to keep good, wholesome food available to you whenever you want or need it.  When it comes to that food storage, opting for organically grown sprouts, which experts agree are a superb source of nutrients, is probably a very wise move.  Besides making great tasting snacks, and adding a little zest to salads and entrees, sprouts have been found to contain concentrated amounts of phytochemicals (plant compounds) that seem to protect us against a number of diseases.

The fact that you will be growing your own sprouts, on an ongoing basis, means your “food storage” is constantly being replenished with fresh produce from your kitchen garden.  Whether sprouts are used fresh and uncooked, or in soups, stir fries or other hot dishes, your sprouts will indeed be available whenever needed  — and that is food storage at its best.
