On Attempting to Juice Sprouts (WAS: What to do with sprouts?)

[Guest guest]

Yes, physically you CAN juice sprouts, you CAN juice a rock, given the right

equipment. (Yes, all rocks contain water.) But most of the sprout will

remain on the " wrong side " of the juicer, that's all. Why? Because sprouts

don't contain ENOUGH water to carry forward much of the nutrient content of

the sprout into the juice.

 

I mean, pause and reflect for a moment ... why do you think they have you

throw the sprouts in with the other ingredients? Because all the water is in

the other ingredients!!! But the juicer will not transfer much of that water

into or through the sprouts, the juicing process simply works too quickly

for that to happen.

 

Of course, it's your money and they are your sprouts ....

Just found another great sprouty website: sproutpeople.com.

And yes you can juice your sprouts. Throw a handful in with your other

veg/fruit. Though I prefer to munch them so I get all the live enzymes

before they get a chance to oxidize.

I just read that sunflower sprouts are not half as good if grown

without soil, so I guess they're not quite as easy to grow as broccoli

sprouts for example. I've been inspired to go and but a tray sprouter

after all this sprout talk.
