Growing your own vegetables is a dream many of us have. The idea that we can be self sufficient, growing plants in our own garden that will produce succulent produce that will keep us fed without the expense or reliance on supermarkets.

But for many of us, the realities of day-to-day living, limited growing space and time, means that it is a dream left unrealised. Luckily there is a perfect alternative at hand. Sprouting seeds!

Sprouting seeds are a dream come true for people with busy lifestyles, but who would love to grow their own nutritious produce, all in the space of a glass jar. You read that correctly. If you have space for a glass sprouting jar on your windowsill you have all the space you need to start growing your own sprouting seeds.

The only time you need is a minute or so per day to rinse them under tap. The sprouting jar with its integrated draining lid will do the rest. Less than a week later and you’ll presented with flavoursome produce that you can use in cooking recipes and lunchtime snacks alike. They can be grown at any time of year, and take no time at all.

What’s even better is that the flavour combinations are entirely up to you. Mixing and matching is a great way to experiment and find the flavour combinations that are right for you.

The nutritional benefits of sprouting seeds

So how good are sprouting seeds for you? Well, for starters they contain around 40 times more nutritional value compared to the fully grown vegetable alternative. We thought that might get your attention. They are full of antioxidants and are high in Vitamins A, B, C, E and K , as well as Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Potassium, which are all essential for your body.

These enzymes help boost various metabolic processes and chemical reactions within the body, specifically when it comes to digestion. If you’ve ever had troubles digesting a particular grain or legume, we highly recommend trying a sprouting seed version before writing it off all together.

As you can see, there are many benefits to these little marvels. And best of all they can be grown by absolutely everyone. So what are you waiting for?! Give them a try. We guarantee you won’t look back.
