SPROUT into Life

SPROUTING ... easily making and eating fresh, enzyme & nutrient rich food that can be so versatile.




Nutritious - seeds are packed with nutrients, SPROUTED seeds are even better!! During the sprouting process, present proteins, enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients increase whilst becoming more bio-available. At the same time toxins and enzyme inhibitors are reduced, increasing digestibility.
