You can only get our sprouts direct from us at the markets. We are fully accredited by Safe Foods QLD as a small scale production, so they are grown with love, care and attention. Our sprouts are sprouted fresh for the markets every week and will last a couple of weeks in the fridge. No need to wash the sprouts, as they are grown organically using filtered rain water without the use of bleach in compliance with industry standards.
The varieties we sell are: alfalfa, broccoli, red clover, radish, mung beans, mixed lentils, fenugreek & adzuki beans.
This is where our business began, learning about the nutritional and energetic benefits of fresh sprouts and wanting to share this with the community to benefit everyone. Have a read about why they are so good, hopefully it motivates you to grow your own! Check out our 'growing sprouts' page if you're feeling like getting sprouty. We get our seeds from Australian Wheatgrass, who will post them to you.
What are sprouts?
Sprouts include any bean, nut, seed or grain which has sprouted. They are rich in all the elements necessary for a plant to grow, so they are an excellent source of nutrition. With such a variety of sprouts available and so easy to grow and prepare, everyone in the family can enjoy the benefits of sprouts!
Common sprouts include alfalfa, mung beans, broccoli, red clover, lentils and fenugreek.
Nutritional benefits of sprouts
The sprouting process not only increases the nutritional value of the original food source, it also makes it easier for you to absorb and process the nutrients. Vitamin content increases drastically – with some seeds, the vitamin levels are twenty times stronger during sprouting! Minerals are chelated during the sprouting process, making them easier for your body to absorb.
Sprouts have a much higher level of living enzymes than other raw fruits or vegetables. These enzymes are essential to aid digestion, so you are also absorbing far more nutrients from sprouts than you would from other food sources. Sprouts provide one of the highest food sources of fibre, helping maintain healthy digestion and keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer. They are also a significant source of protein, in a form that is easier to digest and lower in cholesterol than meat.
Health benefits of sprouts
Many people believe the sheer life force in sprouts is an essential energy source for optimum health. Sprouts have a particularly high bio-energetic value, which means they help provide energy and regenerate cells to repair and protect your body.
The living enzymes in sprouts protect your body from damage by free radicals, unstable oxygen molecules that roam your body stealing electrons from cells and limiting the reproduction of healthy cells. So eating sprouts regularly helps you repair and replace your cells, boosting healthy growth and healing.
Sprouts also have a low glycemic index (GI) indicating that the carbohydrates break down slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the bloodstream. This ensures a steady release of energy without any spikes in blood sugar. They are low in kilojoules while being quite filling, so they help you maintain a healthy weight.
Another top benefit to eating sprouts is their cleansing action – they stimulate your body to flush out toxins so your system stays clean and balanced.
Best of all, some sprouts are packed with anti-cancer properties – broccoli sprouts and radish sprouts are known to be two of the most powerful cancer-fighting foods available. Broccoli sprouts are rich in sulforaphane, which can cleanse the body of carcinogenic substances. Broccoli sprouts also actively reduce the H.pylori infection which contributes to the development of stomach cancer. When you eat broccoli sprouts, your body produces a substance known as 13C (indole-3-carbinol) which fights the spread of cancer cells. Radish sprouts have similar properties, and scientists believe that the cancer-fighting substances in radish sprouts are actually even easier for our bodies to absorb.
Family benefits of sprouts
Best of all, growing and eating sprouts is a fun family activity, designed to help your kids enjoy the concept of healthy eating and natural whole foods. Sprouts grow so quickly, kids can actually see the action and appreciate the result. If you want to establish a strong foundation of healthy eating in your family life, start growing some sprouts today. Your kids will love to participate both in the growing and the eating! And most importantly, they will have a fresh appreciation of the value of whole foods.
Serving suggestions
Salads
Salads and sprouts are perfectly compatible so you can add some leafy sprouts such as alfalfa or clover to your usual favourite salad combination or you can make a salad predominantly from sprouts, such as a combination of crunchy bean sprouts and crisp snow pea sprouts with celery, chives and cucumber, along with some mint and coriander for flavouring.
In sandwiches/wraps
Vegetable sprouts are popular in sandwiches and wraps because they are leafy, light, crunchy and nutritious. While alfalfa sprouts are the best-known sandwich sprout, you can also try broccoli sprouts, green leaf sprouts and bean sprouts.
With eggs on toast
Sprinkle some sprouts on your eggs for an extra burst of nutrition and texture.
As a side with any meal
Sprouts make a great versatile side dish, providing some additional and texture and flavour to your meal. Bean sprouts are crunchy with a nutty flavour, while lentil sprouts are peppery – try stir-frying a combination of your favourite sprouts with spices. For example, stir-fry some pea shoots with garlic, ginger and soy sauce for a delicious hot snack, or as a nutritious topping for your main meal.
In your smoothies
Leafy sprouts such as clover are excellent additions to your fruit smoothie, making it even easier for you to absorb the high nutrient content.
