Here are my thoughts on the deck of the germination raw food.
Cover germinating raw food diet can be fun and easy if you follow some simple guidelines. For most people, enough to become the growth of their own study outbreaks, often through a transitional period in which preferred to buy their seeds germinated adult motivated. If you are one of those people, you look alfalfa, mung (common bean sprouts), chickpeas, lentils and other seed mixes and sunflower, sweet pea and wheat leaves her baby or local Health Food Store in supermarkets.
Yet there will come a time that is appropriate for the quality and variety of sprouts to improve your diet, making him the chance to indoor gardener, the benefits are considerable.
Why sprout? Economic savings, freshness, quality, ease of digestion, oxygen, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, without pesticides or chemicals
Guidelines for germination:
1. Dry seed storage: Store raw nuts, seeds, grains, beans and vegetables in an airtight container in a cool, dry location bar (and the freezer is best), which prolongs storage life of dry foods. Remember that only raw seeds germinate.
2. The stage of soaking. Soak all nuts, seeds, grains, beans and vegetables before using them, even if you cook. This process is an incubation period that the enzyme inhibitors (factors toxic acids) of seeds removed. Seeds with starch (cereals, pulses) should be soaked in hot water. Nuts and seeds are soaked for more than 12 hours more, replace the water after 12 hours. Measure the correct amount of seeds and place in a container. Add at least twice the amount of water that seed there.
3. The stage of germination. After soaking the seeds for the recommended time, let the water cloudy (indoor plants thrive in water) and rinse the seeds well.
Place the container of the seeds germinate well drained wet, wet, however, a good air and keep warm in a dark or semi-dark place during germination and germination phases.
During the germination process, rinse and drain of the growth spurts every 12 hours (in the extreme summer heat, rinse with cold water every 6 hours).
4. Greening. The small seeds of vegetables often grow chlorophyll from the development of their first two leaves. Place these outbreaks in bright sunlight, indirect for 1-2 days to maximize ecological.
5. Harvesting. To benefit most from the sprouts and lettuce, place in a large bowl with water to wash the hulls. Allow a few hours before outbreak of dry cleaning them in the refrigerator.
6. Sprout storage. To store the sprouts in the refrigerator, place in glass or plastic coated with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

Food Seeds For Health
Here are my thoughts on food seeds for health.
Sprouts get vitamins and minerals, even after cooking. For cereals, mung beans (mung beans, green beans, mung, gram green), Peanut is an essential part of their intake of vitamins and minerals lost to the boil.
The seeds contain more amazing amount of nutrients compared with seeds dried. Germination increases the vitamins, minerals and proteins and reduces the amount of calories and carbohydrates. The water content of seeds also increases the dry seeds, grains and legumes. Seeds are a good source of inexpensive obtain a concentration of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Alfalfa seed contains manganese, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E, K and amino acids.
The following is the germination percentage can be used.
1. Legumes-peas, peanuts, mung
2. Seeds of radish seeds, carrot seeds
3. Grains of wheat, barley, ragi,
Methods for germination
Seeds should be washed in pure water and soaked in water for 24 hours, after closing the vessel with a clean cloth. The next morning, the seeds are cleaned and the water is removed. In the fourth ship, the seeds are placed, and they need more space for their germination, bulky and fleshy, and with plenty of water. Germination occurs within three days. One can notice the green leaves at their ends. They must be stored under refrigeration and used whenever necessary. These contain all the nutrients and minerals after cooking. Vitamins are not lost after boiling. Thus, the shoots are safe and beneficial for the body. They help maintain good health. That is why we need the sprouts every day in their meals or breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Plant Your Organic Garden
Here are my thoughts on planting your organic garden.
Once you have all the supplies and have decided to grow it's time to actually plant your garden. Before taking a shovel and loaded into your garden and start digging you may want to take some "time to plan how to configure your garden. You must have a good idea of what the plant wants and exactly where you want to plant before start digging random holes in your garden.
The best way to organize your garden is to get a piece of paper and prepare a plan for your garden. Decide where you want your garden to be and make sure it is an area that will receive sun for most of the day. Starting to look at the construction site a couple of weeks before sowing, at the same time you start the compost box. Take notes on the patio areas to receive sunlight for most of the day and which areas of your disk are often in shadow.
There are other factors to be taken into consideration when choosing where to plant your garden. Avoid areas that have recently undergone repairs or are close to the metal barricades. Chemicals, metals and other wastes can pollute the area that could bring your plants to pollute. Also looking for areas that hold water after rain. The last thing I want to do is to plant your garden in a place that will become a puddle of water after every rain or when there is water. When you choose a suitable area, be sure to stop using chemicals or their immediate environment.
When deciding how to plant the seeds to try to plan the efficient use of non-visual. If you are planting beans or peas and corns to plant peas in a row in front of the corn. This way you can use the game as corn stalks instead of buying shares for your plants. In addition, to help reduce pests, consider growing onions, garlic, basil and herbs, as in a border around vegetables. These spicy vegetable discourage certain insects of vegetables.
After you decide where to plant your garden to go to your garden and remove any rocks or plants that are already growing in the industry. Once all the big stones have disappeared from the surface also remove plants and dig the ground a few inches of release. Dig / loosen an area that is approximately eight inches thick, as this will provide a good workspace. Make sure the starting area with not too large. Want to start small and then build once they are comfortable and equipped with organic gardening and knows what he wants to plant more vegetables.
When all the debris were removed from the selected area and the soil was loose cover your garden site with a good layer of organic mulch. This can be from plants that were removed from the area, the dry grass of your lawn, then insert the needles of trees, bark and other organic materials. Be sure not to use weed or other material such as hay, which may contain weed seeds. If you are using materials that came from a neighbor's property or elsewhere make sure it was never treated with chemicals or pesticides.
Then spread the manure compost pits just above the garden. This will create a habitat rich in nutrients for growing vegetables. Mix the soil from the yard or even the ground beneath all tree near this layer of compost to get several inches of soil and compost that are deep enough for the plant.
Make sure the soil remains moist but not too wet when you get ready to plant the seeds, and avoid stepping on it or compaction. Then, when ready, begin to sow the seeds so as previously planned.
If this is your first time or are afraid to sow the seeds for planting furrows pass close together create a layer of earth and then consider your own seed tape. If you have any type of toilet paper and a spray bottle, which can be used for spraying water, then all together. As soon as the toilet paper roll on the table, toilet paper with the spray, and place the seeds according to the data packets of seeds.
Cover seeds with another long strip of toilet paper, fold the edges and fog again to ensure that the seeds stay in place. Then bring the tape of the seeds in your garden and has already created in the furrows and covered with soil. Doing this will help you avoid spending time outdoors, trying to find the right distance between seeds and then worry about the possibility of planting the seeds close together.
Another method of planting seeds is to buy seeds that have already been initiated. This means that the seeds have already begun to germinate. The seeds have already begun to sprout usually can be purchased at any garden store and many organic seeds in the containers are biodegradable. Once you get home half of everything you do is plant containers in your yard then put old newspapers around the outbreaks and newspaper coverage with mulch.
To save money you can also start seeds at home with their own containers and compost from the compost pile. From seeds to enable them to germinate, usually in the house with the help of a slight increase, and after transplant to a garden. It is best to start with organic seeds in biodegradable containers that can help prevent damage that sometimes occurs during a transplant. Once the seeds have just germinated plant containers in your garden and surround them with newspaper and mulch.
If you have the seeds directly on the floor with tape or planting seeds by hand, laying down the fertilizer and the newspaper can be a pain. In fact, it is probably the hardest part of your garden again, and he wants to be sure not to cover the seeds. The sign at the time of planting the seeds of these is usually the best way to avoid problems or in anticipation of mulch until the seeds began to germinate.
We recommend that you check the areas of seed and fertilizer to establish immediately, because, although an additional step will be worth it because the newspaper and mulch helps soil retain water and discourage weed growth and insects.

Mung bean sprouts
Here are my thoughts on mung bean sprout.
When you buy bean sprouts in the supermarket, are probably the mung bean sprouts. Oriental cuisine has used these buttons for centuries as a fresh vegetable. In most Asian countries can be found at market stalls. The same is true in Central and Eastern Europe. It is only in recent years that have become popular in other countries. Today, you can find in the production of sections of many grocery stores and supermarkets.
These are small grains in the form of cylinders and have a bright green skin. The grains are used to cook everything, but sometimes split and hulled. The hull and divides are small and yellow. They need not be wet, and cook with ease to a soft consistency.
One of the many
While the green bean is the most likely to germinate, seeds of other legumes are spreading in some areas. For example, in Japan, blackgram is preferred because their buds are more white and more remain fresh mung bean sprouts. In China, small soybean seeds are very popular. In the United States, alfalfa has become available in many supermarkets and specialty stores.
Mung bean sprouts are consumed fresh in salads, although some people cooking, boiling, frying and stir. They can be canned or frozen successfully. When 100 g of couples, first sprouted mung beans, ranging from 384 to 313 calories, carbohydrates are reduced 67,5-58,8; 27,1-33,8 ranging from proteins, lipids go 1.46 -1, 77, and minerals increases dramatically.
Chinese farmers growing mungbean mostly by hand
Dry dirt roads, and I am very dusty when they come to us. You should wash thoroughly and reform through them before moving on to the stage of maceration. Be on guard for the small pebble-grained look-alikes. Even high quality seeds, must go through these steps before soaking. Occasionally, you can get some mung beans will remain difficult after the project. Be sure to look through their beans soaked in the search for those hard and throw it away. They are smaller and darker, so I will have no difficulty seeing them. The desire to "jail" when they get to the pan, while those who have absorbed a large amount of water makes no noise.
It is wise to soak the mung beans for twelve hours. Make sure the water is about 70 ° C ½ F. You can choose to grow the small, sweet or mung sprouts mungs great. Younger children will be ready when the roots have grown at ¼ to ½ inch. The large mungs have 1 to 3 inches of roots. In both cases, remember to rinse and drain every 8 hours.
Supermarket Restaurant and Chinese Mung Bean Sprouts
Mung bean sprouts can be seen in a supermarket or a restaurant in China is very likely to have large stems and thick roots. These are grown with chemicals and gas equipment in 500 liters. Your home outbreaks will not see it that way. However, you can get some thick roots with a sprouter which drains from the bottom. In addition, you must be careful to disturb the seeds and sprouts when clears. The grains should remain stationary. Want to form a mass that can not be moved. He also wants more time and wash water with a lower pressure. If you rinse in the sink, you could try the spray during the first two or three days until the roots have formed a mass society.
Your taste will be ready for harvest in 8-24 hours after the final rinse. Drain well. Get Your Taste Buds in a plastic bag and place in refrigerator. Ci si può aspettare one resa 2 to 1 per mungs brief e dolce, ma la resa per il mungs possono essere grandi e il più spesso elevato 3,5-1.
Mungs are the most consumed sprout in the world. As noted earlier, Asian cuisine uses it extensively. They are also the best cook button. There are many recipes using mung bean sprouts. You can find them online or in cookbooks that focus on Chinese food or preparing to eat sprouts.

Most of us have eaten beansprouts (of sprouted Mung beans) is a Chinese food. Some things are easier to seed than others, eg, alfalfa, lentils, Mung beans and radish. Not trying to bean sprouts, because they are toxic when raw.
A. Vogel an excellent range of sprouting seeds are Biosnacky, the deliberate release, non-irradiated and organic, and the seeds have the best chances of germination. Although it is possible your seeds seedlings in a glass jam that Biosnacky Germinator or three tiered Germinator the best results. It couldnt easier. Only water, rinse, and watch them grow.
Seedlings are healthy and nutritious food that you do not have to cook. Once the seeds have sprouted, you can combine them into one of the following options:

The Different Types Of Beans
Here are the info about the types of beans.
There are many types of grains, but very few were known before the discovery of the Americas. Broad (Fava) beans, soybeans, mung, lentils and French Beans, beans, the "Old World", and they are always very important to beans in a large part of the world.
In North America and South, indigenous peoples discovered and developed, other beans that we know today. These include kidney beans, lima beans, and various types of beans.
Beans can grow as shrubs or climbers or rider. Most types of grain Bush (beans, which are delicious) are treated as stock-feed. All beans are legumes, a group that includes peas.
Some grain legumes eaten together (eg, string, the runners, the snake and wax beans), while others (such as beans) are in the pod before the meal. Many are dried in the long term storage, such as soybean, red kidney, pinto bean, navy, lentils, Mung, large and Lima (butter) beans. Some grains such as scarlet fever Runner bean for the production of food and, in some countries than in other ornamentals.
All beans are protein, which is an excellent substitute for meat in the diet. Soybeans are primarily a high protein content and contains all amino acids, and because it and the highest in a vegetarian diet with soy products, like soy milk, yogurt, cheese and meat analogues. Soybeans also contain phytoestrogens, which are useful in the fight against the symptoms of menopause, bone.
Mung beans and lentils are particularly important for the sector be long, high-protein, and have not time to cook than many other beans require.
Besides protein, beans also of iron, fiber (fiber), folic acid, vitamin B, and strength. These hulls of color (eg, runners Scarlet Fever) also contain antioxidants.
Beans, with the exception of delicious freshly prepared, can also be dried, stored and again, either in whole or in powder and in the courts, as Falafel (instead of chick peas or Garbanzo usual). You're well on maize and beans are easy to grow. (You might guess: They are my favorite beans!)

In the morning, without removing the muslin for the water rinse and at least two times, filling the pot with fresh water, close to washing and to pay all. Leave the plate hangs down at an angle (I have kept in a dry bowl tipped over with the open end facing down). In the evening, rinse and drain again, and to leave a tip jar. Continue rinsing and emptying at least twice a day until the soybeans are grown and expanded. I'm ready to eat when the sprouts are at least 1 cm in length. You can then give them a final rinse, then a bag or keep them in the pot, if you prefer, and put them in the refrigerator.
They can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in a stir-fry.
I wash the jar and reuse. The dishes to be washed muslin in some liquid, and rinse completely after boiling for a few minutes and then re-use.

* Beans (Mung, Kidney, Pinto, navy and soy)
* Broccoli
* Clover
Dill *
* Garlic
* Mustard
* Pumpkin
* Radish
* Sunflower
* Wheat berries
Note that this list is only partial, if you go to the abilities of germination, you find more. The diversity makes this approach to food and interesting, exciting.
You do not need any special equipment for the cultivation of plants. All you need are the seeds, water, heat and darkness. Probably only for 10 minutes every day to grow sprouts, all you can eat.
Recipe:
1 ½ cup of these seeds: wheat, beans, rye, oats, rice, sunflower, buckwheat shelled lens, Garbanzo beans
2 tbsp: alfalfa, radish, clover, cabbage.
Soak the seeds 2-3 times their dry volume (of water). If they suck they suck the water (two to twelve hours, depending on the size of the grains), drain the water away, rinse and in a dark, warm place the bottle upside down and look at the corner. Do you want to drain the water. Put something under the piston to the water. Set the deck so that air to and from the glass. A thin cloth or a nylon stocking density. Attach it to the hole with a rubber band or bottle ring. For very small sprouting seeds such as alfalfa: After the seeds are no longer draining, roll the bottle jacket of the outer packaging of seeds. Leave the bottle on the dark side. Best at room temperature of 70 ° C. Important: Rinse the seeds twice a day, drain them well. Incubation under two weeks.
If you plan to eat the raw
They would have to increase by 2-3 inches. For alfalfa, wheatgrass, buckwheat or sunflower sprouts, thereby indirectly sunlight four to five hours if they have already harvested. It is green, so that their vitamin A content. Place bean sprouts to sunlight, it makes them bitter. When the desired length, rinse them and place them in sealed containers, the water-absorber on the ground and in the refrigerator.
Do not shoot more than a week, and grows only in small quantities, only what you are using the short time. It is a good idea to see some sprouts growing all the time. If you look at the vitamins from sprouts, it is recommended that you use up to 125 kilograms of seed per person per year. Otherwise, 30 kg should be sufficient if you plan to eat them raw.
The number of companies, the seeds are seeds that have very fast in recent years. The cost is more if you buy them as planting seed. Here you can find cheaper seeds, the only beautiful in your applications. Some germs experts reported that it was a waste of money for "the sprouted seeds" and not as a normal seeds. Go slowly! Buy a small amount of seed and test.
Not the seeds of more than 5 years, unless you have a very cool place to keep. As seeds age, they take longer to germinate, and it is, this is not the seed.
Worried about health? Confused about what nutrients are best? Why not click Add sprouts to your daily eating plan? You can use a healthy portion of vitamin C needs and to strengthen the system for many B-vitamins. Green leafy vegetables are excellent sources of vitamin A. You can use the whole range of expensive vitamin supplements and still receives nutritional benefits of this very attractive additions to your diet provides.
They are easy to manufacture, however, there are certain guidelines you must follow. You can grow it themselves, even if you do not have a green thumb. You do not have at all soil, only water and cool temperatures. The time between the beginning of seed and the harvest of sprouts is very short: sprouts emerge, as little as two days and a maximum of seven. It depends on what you shoot. A wide range of possibilities, but it can be good for only a few at the beginning, until you start to catch them.

Sprouts History
Here some fact you need to know about the history of Sprouts.
Sprouting
There is no written evidence that Chinese doctors knew sprouts and they were for the healing of many diseases for more than 5000 years. Shen-Nung, the emperor of China, in 1282 BC, wrote about her and Mung beans as had happened to their growth. Modern China, a short back and the rest of the world, the export of wheat, even if it is less fertile agricultural land and no chemical fertilizers, and very little modern agricultural machinery. Moreover, they are nearly one billion people. That would be impossible for a "modern" farming system.
Thank God for their history
The secret is sprouts. The first mention of the extraordinary nutritional value of seeds germinated in a book, the Emperor of China in 2939 BC. It was not a new idea even then. Most of the families of Chinese origin, the sprouts grow, what each person had a constant supply of high energy foods at low cost. N. expensive to transport. N. Processing and packaging. They could not do what they do when they are burdened with our more developed system of food production. Americans of Oriental descent sprouts are always in their diet as a staple food.
In the book of Daniel in the Bible, we read of germs. Even with its great history, it has been for many centuries before the West about the nutritional values of these extraordinary plants.
From 1772 to 1775, Captain James Cook was plagued by illness among his crew and was looking for answers. It was noted that scurvy (vitamin C) was the cause. In two to three years and travels, many of them have died, most were too sick to work, necessary to a ship underway. So Captain Cook, beginning in 1772, had his sailors eat limes, lemons, and a variety of sprouts, with plenty of vitamin C. He added, fresh fruit and vegetables, as has been ongoing and a plan for the cultivation and consumption of sprouts were. It is a step in the health of seafarers and shipping, solved the biggest problem for the Captain Cook.
Dr. Clive M. McKay, professor of food science at Cornell University wrote an article during the Second World War, the great interest. The first statement in his article as follows: "Wanted! A plant grows in a climate Rival meat in nutritional value, will mature in 3-5 days, can be planted any day of the year, you will not need soil or sunshine, will rival tomatoes in vitamin C, will be free of waste in preparation and can be cooked with little fuel and as quickly as it cut ... ".
He spoke of the buds. The amazing properties of sprouted soybeans has been the subject of research by a team of nutrition experts led by Dr. McKay. Other researchers have surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and Minnesota, Yale and McGill. What has been shown that sprouts retain the B-vitamin complex that is in the original seed. What was even more surprised that he feels that it was a big jump in Vitamin A and an incredible amount of vitamin C that go beyond what the seeds are not sprouting. While some proteins are lost in the process of germination, starch is used in simple sugars, which are easily digestible shoots.
By Dr. McKay, and the publication of information on the research of others, the United States, interest in sprouts and sprouting. In this case, do not catch most people.
The Rising of Coal
However, in the seventies, where health is an important concern for conscience, sprouts have begun to get them, along with the tofu. Bean sprouts are the kind of choice, and the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States has a tendency to note that a cup of bean sprouts contains only 26 calories. They are low in salicylate, the Agriculture Department has pointed out, a natural occurring chemical in plants, the digestive problems in some people.
Today, China and India are major producers of Mung Beans, and the United States is one of the largest customers. This means that the bean sprouts are readily available in this country in the supermarkets.
Of course, even better, you can create your own. Recipes for the demand, which means the silver sprouts Mung bean sprouts with their ends removed. This is a task that agent executed in Chinese families. Today, the rungs are in their own in the United States. A measure of the size of the growing population shoot and consume in this country, the number of websites with the theme, and many manufacturers and distributors of bean sprouts.

Sprout Mung
Here what you need to know about Sprout Mung.
It is an amazing increase in nutrients in sprouted foods when compared to the dried embryo. In this process of germination, vitamins, minerals and protein to grow, while the corresponding reduction of calorie and carbohydrate content. These comparisons are based on an appropriate water content in food is measured. Analysis of dried seeds, grains and legumes shows a very little water. But that is up to tenfold when the same food in seedlings. A more accurate comparison each must have a common denomination of equal water an accurate assessment of changes in nutritional value.
Sprouted Mung beans, for example, is an increase of 8.3 water of dried beans.
Therefore, the nutritional value of sprouted and dried Mung beans can be obtained by multiplying the
Analysis of nutrients of sprouted Mung beans by a factor of 8.3. Based on this criterion, the
Changes in sprouted Mung beans compared with the numbers in the beans, the
Dried stand as follows:
Energy content - taking 15 percent of calories
Total carbohydrate content Decrease 15 per cent
Protein availability Increase 30 per cent
Calcium content Increase 34 per cent
The potassium-80 per cent increase
Sodium increase 690 percent
Iron by 40 percent
Phosphorus content in addition to 56 percent
Vitamin A content Increase 285 percent
Thiamine or Vitamin B1 content Increase 208 percent
Riboflavin or Vitamin B2 content Increase 515 percent
Niacin or Vitamin B3 content in addition to 256 percent
Ascorbic acid or vitamin C content of the infinite growth
The increase in protein availability is of great importance. It is a valuable indication that the
Increased nutritional value of food when sprouted. The simultaneous reduction in carbohydrate --
Content indicates that many carbohydrate molecules are broken down by branches, so that
an absorption of atmospheric nitrogen and reforming into amino acids. The resulting protein is
easily digestible of all proteins in food.
A significant increase in sodium content supports the view that sprouted foods offer
nutritional properties. Sodium is necessary for the digestive diseases, gastro-intestinal tract
and also to remove carbon dioxide. Together with the significant increase in vitamins,
Sodium significantly promote the easy digestibility of sprouts.
The dried seeds, grains and legumes do not contain any discernible traces of ascorbic acid, but when
Sprouted grains, they show very significant amounts, which are important for the body is able to
Metabolism of proteins. Continuous growing of ascorbic acid from their absorption
Without the elements during growth.
Sprouts are a number of other advantages. They provide food predigested, it is food --
That have already implemented are enzymes and easily digested. During
Incubation, a lot of strength in simple sugars like glucose and sucrose
the enzyme 'amylase'. Proteins are amino acids and amides. Fats
and oils are turned into simple fatty acids, whose enzyme lipase.
In a time of germination, the beans lose their harmful gas producing quality. Research has shown
that oligosaccharides are responsible for gas formation. Maintenance of health, some
Amount of gas production is necessary, but it should be in secure borders. As the process
germination ends and sprouting begins, the percentage of oligosaccharides, 90
Sprouts contain much more fiber and water, and therefore it is beneficial in overcoming constipation.
The sprouts are a very cheap way to the concentration of vitamins and minerals
and enzymes. You have all the tools, the establishment of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, and they are
"Living" foods. Eating sprouts is the safest and best way to take advantage of the fruit and
Vegetables without contamination and harmful insecticides.
However, it is certain that the seeds and dried beans purchased for storage, the
they are fresh, unsprayed and packaged foods. Semen, packaged for planting purposes
contain mercury compounds or other toxic chemicals.
