Not to mention that everyone who sprouts is a little different, and they

like them at different lengths of sprouting periods. Which is why you can

have 1:1 all the way up to 5:1.

But 100 grams of short or long sprouts would still weigh the same. Guess i'll

just chop up 100 grams and see what that is in cups. The reason I was asking is

that I have read several articles about the cancer inhibiting properties of

broccoli sprouts and tomato taken at the same time. They always mention 2.5 cups

of sprouts as the only measurement.

Well, but starting with seeds, 100 grams of seeds can produce anywhere up

to 500 grams of sprouts- which is what I thought you meant.

Here you go:

Using the gram to cup conversion software online

100 grams = ?cups

Result: 0.42268 cups

Enter grams or cups for conversion:

Select conversion type: grams

=> cups cups => grams

So long as you east plenty of sprouts on a daily basis, I can't see how a few

grammes either way would matter... or maybe just eat more sprouts to be sure

(what a hardship)?!

Are you eating the tomatoes raw or cooked? There is a lot of evidence to suggest

that cooked tomatoes are even better for not only anti-cancer

fighting properties, but also in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. It's

fabulous to know that, for once, something in a tin is so good for us!

" Fresh tomatoes are a delicious source of vitamin C, but recent findings

attribute an even more important nutritional asset to this vegetable: It is one

of the best sources of lycopene, a carotenoid with cancer fighting properties.

Preliminary research suggests that lycopene may fight heart disease as well. The

British eat a lot of tomatoes in processed form, as sauce on pasta or pizza, in

soups, stews, and chilies, and as tomato ketchup, and as it turns out, this is

one case where a vegetable is of greater value cooked than it is raw: Tomatoes

contain a lot of water, so they become more concentrated as the water evaporates

during cooking. The result is that a 110g of cooked tomatoes, in the form of

sauce or paste, for instance, is a far more concentrated source of lycopene than

a 110g of fresh tomatoes. And your body absorbs more lycopene from cooked or

processed tomatoes, especially when the tomatoes are cooked with a little oil,

as they often are. (Serving raw tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, for

instance, also enhances lycopene absorption). "

yes. That's right. Sprouts and tomatoes should both be cooked. Sprouts should be

either steamed for 5 min. or put in water of a temp. of 140-150 degrees F 5

min.Tomato paste is most potent choice so I usually have heated sprouts and

tomato sauce with paste over brown rice pasta. Also have been making fresh

tomatoes with heated sprouts in a blender with arugala, garlic, sea salt and

pepper as my own sauce. Also great tasting.Thanks for your thoughtsBob

That sounds good (the tomato sauce) - I have a nice big batch of arugula

that I could use, just starting to harvest.

Is it equal amount of tomatoes at the same time?  Looked like just under 1/2

cup.  Doesn't look like it is a lot but if you had 1/2 cup of each then that is

a nice little amount.  Could put on lettuce and have a nice salad.

Does microwave steaming harm them in anyway?  I often put veggies and a TB or so

of water and with a lid on them (I use the Tupperware that is made for microwave

cooking) and steam in there.  It is fast and things taste good when cooked that

way.  I would have thought that fresh tomatoes would have been more powerful

than cooked ones though.  But some things need cooking I guess.  Your idea of

sauce sounds great.  My husband brought home the best tomatoes the other day. 

They are sort of like a grape but bigger but not as big as a Roma.  Not sure

what they call it, but I sat and ate a handful last night with no salt or

anything on them.  They are a tasty tomato.  I have no idea if they are a hybrid

or not, but I guess it is likely.  I have not seen any like that before.
