There are SO MANY benefits to sprouting seeds and adding them to your diet, here are just a couple of highlights that explain why we think it's a no brainer 🧠

💊 IMMUNE SUPPORT 💊
Full of vitamins & minerals & amino acids to support your general health as well as antioxidants which help the body remove harmful substances, reduce inflammation and fight illness

Sprouting a seed increases the insoluble fibre and the number of enzymes available in the sprout helping your body to break down its food more easily and pass it through the GI tract more smoothly

❓What are the white fuzzy bits I can see on my sprouts and are they safe to eat? 😬

Ever panicked after seeing little white hairs on your sprouts and thrown them away in case it was mould? You're not alone!
If you're new to sprouting or eating sprouted seeds you may wonder what the white fuzzy bits are on your sprouts and whether it's ok to eat them.

Well, it's good news! These white fluffy bits are usually just tiny little root hairs and your sprouts may just be feeling a little thirsty. A plant sends these out to find water, so they're perfectly healthy, and once you rinse them most of them should disappear 😀

Broccoli sprouts, for example, provide
- Sulforaphane
- Fibre
- Protein
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Calcium & Iron

This makes broccoli sprouts anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and great for heart health and boosting your immune system!
