The Benefits of Sunflower Sprouts...

10/1/2015

Surprising to most people, sunflower sprouts contain 24% to 30% protein with 8 essential amino acids present. They are also high in fiber, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B complex, C, D and E. Sunflower sprouts also contain calcium, phosphorous, iron, iodine, potassium, magnesium and the trace elements zinc, manganese, copper and chromium.

Sunflower sprouts have too many benefits to list but here are a few:

They activate every cell of the immune system and help to keep gut bacteria healthy, thus improving our ability to fight disease.
Sunflower greens are a rich source of lecithin which helps to eliminate accumulated deposits in arterial walls, and break down fatty acids into an easily digestible water soluble form.

They are rich in chlorophyll which benefits many functions within the body, including building blood supply, revitalizing tissue, calming inflammation, activating enzymes, and deodorizing the body.

Sunflower sprouts are easy to sprout at home and only take about 7 days, but you can also get them seasonally at the Co-Op in Bozeman or Cloud 9 Farms. Here is a link that shows you how to row them at home!
