Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi. I am new here. Years ago i used to sprout alfalfa seed, 1/3 cup seed, let sit a few hours in water, then rinse out top floating stuff, then put in gallon glass bottle with big opening. put cheesecloth over top, held with rubber band. rinse morning and evening. letting set upside down on an angle to let rinsde water drain out. after about 5 days, put in sun for another couple of days. gallon jar is full. then rinse off seed hulls as much as i can, and eat. but often the sprouts rot instead of sprouting properly, especially in summer. but now i have hardly any teeth, so cannot chew it. and i do not remember things from day to day, so i cannot remember to rinse. so it is a very long time since i sprouted anything. Is there an easy way, especially so if i do not remember anything, they will not rot on me? And any suggestions for how to eat without very many teeth? i do have a regular juicer, and a twin screw juicer and a vitamix blender. shall i simply pour it into the vitamix and cream it? i have been wondering if sprouts could improve my health, which is very poor. could it help so that i do not keep passing out when under any kind of stress? (yes, i see lots of docs and hospitals!) and i am wondering about the nutritional benefit of sprouting various fruit seeds, such as blueberry or papaya, and if that is feasable, where to buy the seeds. my brother who lives in kenya told me that papaya seeds are used there for intestinal worms. and i know blueberry is related to billberry which is used for eye ailments by herbalists. any suggstions are appreciated! thank you!
