The "Amazing Sprouts" Book by Pam Blowering

This book contains all the information you ever need to know about growing and using sprouts.

Many people believe that food should always be grown in healthy soil for ultimate health and I believe that this is indeed true. In today's busy lifestyle though it is not easy, if not impossible, for most people to be able to keep up a vegetable garden or supply of home grown vegetables all year round. That's why this book is so helpful - it contains information about a green "vegetable" which is nutritious and easy to grow in your own kitchen .

In the outdoors one has to combat the myriad of pests we seem to be confronted with, especially in summer, or we are faced with drought or plants that must wonder if they are aquatic rather than earth types! Without a doubt the majority of people feel more comfortable with organic produce because of the growing health problems associated with pesticides and herbicides used routinely on crops. But for some families the cost of buying organic produce can be prohibitive.

Sprouts are therefore a cheap and welcome addition to our diets and scientists are forever discovering something amazing as they test these tiny little plants for their amazing abundance of nutrients and health giving properties.

"The Amazing Sprout Book" contains lots of hints such as:

SEEDS should be organically grown or spray free

NEVER sprout seeds that have been treated with fungicides

ALWAYS check seeds for stones or grit before washing

BUY from a reputable supplier with a good turnover

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - if you have children then let them get involved. You will be amazed how fascinating they will find the growing of their 'own' seeds into a food they can snack on or make into something they like. They will even boast about making their own 'snacks' at school!
