Are you looking for an easy way to gain access to high nutrition vegetables at your own leisure, economically and without being subject to the seasons, growing times, availability and prices in stores? If this sounds good to you, then it is time to consider looking at a sprouter and growing your own sprouts!
Organic vegetables are usually more expensive than their non-organic counterparts, because it is cheaper to mass produce chemically fertilized vegetables and spray them with pesticide than it is to grow organically with rotating cover crops, natural fertilizers and finding non-chemical ways to deal with pests. Although one could reasonably argue that purer food is well worth the extra money, for most people the price of organic food places the possibility of eating a more wholesome diet further out of their reach.
This is where growing sprouts comes in. Having the freshest possible food you could ever access for less than what vegetables cost is a solution that can work for anyone in any situation. Seed prices vary per pound, but generally you can grow a pound of fresh vegetables in a few days for anywhere from 15 cents to 1 dollar per pound. Just a few minutes a day of rinsing will yield you huge amounts of highly nutritious foods that travel the distance from your kitchen counter to your table rather than hundreds or even thousands of miles. Kids love sprouting, and can learn how to do it very simply.
With a simple set up of a few jars with screen lids, you simply rinse the seeds 2 to 3 times a day, drain out the water, and place the jar on its side! If you have a schedule that does not allow for this, as some people do with eight hour work days etc, there are other methods of sprouting that are simpler, such as inexpensive sprouter devices with better air flow and drainage than you can get from a glass jar.
The Seeds of Sustainability team have taken the whole process a step further and created a revolutionary new method of growing sprouts that requires no daily rinsing at all! The Marche Sprouting Method was developed by Master Sprout Alchemist Robin Marche, through twenty years of research, experimentation and development of sustainable growing methods. The system uses a simple yet highly effective method of moisture regulation that eliminates the need for daily rinsing and the risk of bacteria growing to spoil your sprouts, making it the ideal sprouter alternative. Learn the simple method, set it up and 3 days later you have as little or as much fresh sprouts as you would like, for a little over the cost of the grain or seed.
