[WhittyWorks]

[baumann1965]

Great video, but I too find the not looking at the camera a bit distracting/disturbing.

[markdksc]

Oh my God you are so freaking CUTE!!!! hahahaha!!!! kinda CRAZY looking but totally cute!!! I love you!!!!

The advantage of sprouting your own is

that you can control freshness and availibility also it is much more cost effective, i also find the whole process interesting and rewarding as I dont get out much

[Forsure3333]

What are the advantages of sprouting the seeds instead of buying the seeds already sprouted?

[munnypiggy]

Price would be one advantage I guess, also you can know you use rainwater and not fluoridated-chlorinated (toxic) mains water...and then there is the satisfaction you get from growing your own healthy food and knowing exactly whats in it :)

Thank you Aunt Celeste let's make America healthy again!

Hey the camera is over here. What type of seeds were those that she was using?

[neuronpie]

Buy Sprouted Grain Bread, make your own sandwiches, grab a bag of apples, fresh cut veggies. I PROMISE you will be rewarded with energy & good health. Furthermore, not all fish oil is created equal. I suggest you ease into use cold pressed olive oil - the taste becomes addictive. Good luck in taking control of your own health!

I tried sprounting sunflower seeds and got a strong reaction after eating them, a profound headrush.. it was a bit scary to be honest, is this normal? cant decide whether it was bad or not.. but Im still here lol

[neuronpie]

I have never heard of anyone having such a strong reaction to sunflower sprouts. However, what I would do is sprout some alfalfa or some other equally nutritious seeds and if you still have a reaction that tells me you are in dire need of real and nutritious foods. Are you in good health otherwise?

[doybhoy]

Im 29 and in ok health but my diet is fairly devoid of live foods.. bread and rice with chicken.. sandwitches for lunch, toast for breakfast.. peanut butter.. I try and get the odd bit of fruit and veg in. I get tired half way through the day and struggle to shift my spare tire despite excersising most days.. I got he same reaction from a strong fish oil caption once.. maybe its an alergy or maybe my body is gulping up the nutrition and im getting a rush of nutrients to my head.. cant tell

[neuronpie]

I encourage you to buy a tray from your supermarket with fresh cut veggies - ready to snack. Watch out for too much chicken. Hormones & crap pumped into the poor creatures that you are getting more damage than nutrition into your body. +-50 years ago, industries started using heated steel blades to crush the wheat - killed the living wheatgerm, changed the properties (longer storage) & the good stuff in the flour was destroyed. Now many people have developed allergies to wheat.

Most raw sprouts contain hemagglutinins, which inhibit the absorption of proteins and fats. Alfalfa sprouts are mildly toxic do not eat them every day, and avoid them if you are a cancer patient, have a weak immune system or suffer from inflammation

The worst are soybeans and kidney beans, followed by Pinto, Navy, Black eye, Lima, Black beans, Aduki (Adzuki) beans, lentils and peas.

Hemagglutinins are destroyed by cooking

please redo the video with the proper warning

@brambau

jeez what a list of sprouts you mention that are bad for you ! so whats left ?? are there any that are good for you ?

[brambau]

@ZEITGEISTism

steam them slightly and the toxicity will be removed. The Chinese stir fry them. Or refrigerate after steaming for salads/sandwiches etc.

[ZEITGEISTism]

@brambau thanks for your response but ...steam them ? stir fry them ?

errr no I dont think so ...that wouldnt make them raw ! my question is what sprouts can be eaten raw safely ,  do you know ?

[brambau]

@ZEITGEISTism

none, forget raw bean sprouts

Most enzymes in foods are destroyed by stomach acids.

Mushrooms are healthy cooked but slightly toxic raw.

Carrots are healthy raw but the vitamin A in carrots is more available to the body when cooked.

WERES THE WEED AT

[toast888]

Thanks for this video, very nicely done! Good information...

[dearwillym]

Thank you for this wonderful and informational video:)

[skm61]

I've got bean sprouts maker from Korea, which is much easier to sprout the bean.

[carter102]

I get all my seeds from a Farmers Co-op.

I got black sunflower seeds, alfalfa, mung beans, and lintels. They sell them dirt cheap, and generally be the pound. You can get a 50 lbs sac of sunflower seeds for like $35. That is enough to last you at least a year. Talk about cheap meals!

[bnmuzic]

where can i order the seeds??

[Ducky888888]

Great!

[xninxx]

very good video. i didn't know about the different stages. have you ever used a sprouting bag before?

[neuronpie]

no, I would like to, though. I use a sprout condo.

[neuronpie]

No, but I would like to know more about it. Do you know?

[xninxx]

i have used a sprouting bag made of hemp. they say hemp is naturally antibacterial and antifungal so a bag is the best method. i dont know myself. but it worked. i used raw buckwheat and it sprouted in about 1.5 days. i hung it over my sink. i wonder how the sprouts in the middle of the bag get air. but i think on sproutman's website he said the bag is his favorite tool. thanks for the video again.

[cwalksensei]

thank you. this is very helpful. :o)
