You don’t have to be a raw foodist to sprout your own seeds, but if you are eating just raw foods, spouted seeds are an essential part of your diet. I’ve mentioned the wonders of wheatgrass previously. It’s got so many health benefits and is a great natural medicine. Normally I just buy my wheatgrass already grown at Wild Oats/ Whole Foods. $5 for a bed that lasts about a 5 days. A little longer if you keep watering it and trimming the grass. But it is nice to know how to sprout your own seeds. There are many seeds you can sprout besides wheatberries such as garbanzo beans, broccoli seeds, sunflower seeds, basil etc. I tried reading about sprouting, but it’s really not an ideal way to learn. The best way to learn is by watching someone else do it. Karen Knowler, a raw food coach, has a variety of how-to videos on YouTube. A couple of short videos I encourage you to watch if you’re at all interested in sprouting, are “Sprouting” and “Wheatgrass and Indoor Greens” which you can find here on her YouTube page: http://youtube.com/user/karenknowler
