Title: Sprouts Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Mar 13, 2015 11:11 am In addition to the herbs (individual herbs have been mentioned in this section), vegetables and fruits in this section - that have been mentioned - i have also taken quite an interest in growing and eating sprouts. i am going to mention some varieties in this section and some of their benefits as well as growing them. Hopefully others will as well.

The vegetable food we may eat without actually killing it would be little, probably. All fruit for sure. Maple syrup. The vegetables which grow up again after being cut (cutting would be equal to pruning). Eating nuts, seeds and sprouts would mean to kill the potential plant, like eating an embryo. Unless the plant reincarnates in the seed only when there is water in it causing germination, then the killing would apply only to sprouts. Its still a little explored aspect, not pleasant to vegetarians, which could be killers in their own right, even as the meat eaters. Sorry for the OT.

Hello mccoy i am happy to hear you are so sensitive to life. Sorry but eating sprouts has no affect on me. (However, decapitating animals and fish to eat does.)Though i do feel it important to be grateful for their sacrifice to my life and i express that through prayer. i like radish, red clover, broccoli, alfalfa, lentil and oriental sprouts. They are a source of instant energy and life since they are not cooked or altered genetically. They make a wonderful salad or sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes, olives etc. Title: Re: Sprouts Post by: mccoy on May 02, 2015 08:50 pm ...Sorry but eating sprouts has no affect on me.

i have my own minature portable garden wherever I go I bring one of the sprouts i quite often include alfalfa sprouts... high in minerals and vitamins but very low in fat. Also included: fiber, protein and amino acids. Title: Re: Sprouts Post by: mccoy on May 21, 2015 09:49 pm That's an undisputably fresh food.
