When it comes to eating any legumes,
nuts or seeds they MUST be sprouted!!! Don't eat them unless they are.
Each one of those foods can be hard for the body to breakdown and digest.
They are dense fats and to make it easier and more nutritionally
beneficial for you and your body, you always want them in a sprouted form.
Sprouted just means that they have
released their own enzymes and are alive and ready to be digested. Eating
anything sprouted is so much more beneficial for the body's ability to absorb
all the nutrients that the food has to offer. It's so much easier now to
find foods that are sprouted too. Until recently most of us in the
vegan-raw world had to sprout our own foods. Now, you can purchase them
from many stores in the bulk section or prepackaged.
In my Essential Meal I
included 11 different sprouts that I feel are "essential" to have
everyday. I tried to do all the work for you by included them into your daily
balanced meal. Sprouts offer so many different minerals and vitamins that
by having my Essential Meal at least once a day you will notice that you
can cut down on consumption of non essential snacking foods. Just by
giving your body the right nutrients that trigger the right hormone releases
from the brain you will have a better day
If you are lucky enough to have a
Farmers Market that offers fresh Sprouts then take advantage. My FAVORITE
sprouted thing to eat is pumpkin seed. Gopals.com is my absolute fav... I carry them
at both my locations but you can order them online. They are located in
Texas and they make all their own products.
Here's a bonus tip: Pumpkin
seeds have protein, fiber, magnesium, potassium, iron and GOOD FAT! Your
body craves all the nutrients in pumpkin seeds. They actually help to fight and prevent growths in the body.
I can't live without them.
