Sprouts are a powerhouse of nutrition. They have been grown by many civilizations over the past 5,000 years.
Sprouts are super foods because of their remarkable nutritional properties. Ounce for ounce, they provide more nutrients than any other natural food known.
Eat sprouts regularly, as they are nature's wonder food, rich in the essential alkaline minerals, and are the most nutrient dense foods we can eat.
Alfalfa, also known as "king of the herbs," was one of the first herbs known to man. It is native to Asia and was brought to North America around 1850. Today this plant is common all over many countries. The ancient Arabs called alfalfa the "father of all foods," and it continues to function as an important food today. The ancient Chinese decided that what was good food for the cattle must be good for the people too. Soon traditional Chinese physicians were using this herb to stimulate the appetite and to treat digestive problems, especially ulcers.
Traditionally, alfalfa was used in India to soothe arthritis pain and to prevent fluid retention. The pioneers also used this perennial to treat boils, cancer, scurvy, urinary and bowel problems and to bring on menstruation.
