1. It's economical. The prices on foodstuffs are accelerating just about as fast as the price of gasoline. And it's going to get worse. Only four ounces of seeds will produce several pounds of food. This is a very good way to grow your own food without buying or renting land or tilling the land you already own.
2. It's easy. Anyone can do it. It will take about a minute per day for you to grow and prepare sprouts. They will grow just about any place indoors and any time of the year. It takes very little space to grow sprouts, and they travel just fine, unlike a backyard garden. They’re perfect for campers, boaters, and owners of RVs. If you buy the kits, they come with complete directions for growing sprouts. You can also find an abundance of information on the Internet.
3. They’re always fresh, and they’re always right there, no matter the weather. You don't need to dig, plant, weed, deal with pests, or add chemical fertilizer to your food. Besides, there's no long wait. (Tomatoes take at least 50 days even if you have ideal weather for your outdoor garden.) In just 3 days, you can harvest a nutritional, delicious feast. The most it will take for any of the seeds to become mature sprouts will be 7 days. They will stay fresh for days in your refrigerator if you give them the attention they need. You will need to rinse them from time to time. Actually, certain ones will last for weeks with proper care.
4. You get natural, toxin-free food, sweet and pure without added chemicals. If you take the next step and buy only organic seeds, you can be assured of even healthier harvests. They will still cost less than food you can obtain any other way.
5. Sprouts are a complete food. They are the real health food. You are catching life-giving nutrition at its inception, and sprouts contain everything you need to be healthy. The nutrition they offer is easily assimilated and nourishes your body immediately. If you grow them yourself, you can be sure that they’re pure, and you can pick them when they are at their peak.
6. They taste good! By using a variety of beans, seeds, and grains for sprouting, you can enjoy gourmet additions to salads, raw sandwiches, smoothies,etc. ”
7. Did I mention nutritious? Many sprouts have more protein than cooked meat and at a fraction of the cost. The amino acids in this protein are more digestible and more readily available to the system than in meat. Vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and fiber are contained in varying quantities in all sprouts. Chlorophyll can be added to the other beneficial nutrients by exposing the sprouts to light.
8. Low-calorie and low-fat bulk. You can eat a whole cup of alfalfa sprouts and get only 16 calories. These calories are in simple sugars, which provide quick energy. They contain no cholesterol but do contain several essential fatty acids. These are the perfect weight-loss and body-purifying foods for the 21st century.
9. Including sprouts in your diet will help cleanse and detoxify your body. Chlorophyll is a blood cleanser and oxygenator. The enzymes that are lost in food when you cook it is still there in sprouts. These are the ingredients that aid in digestion and in the assimilation of nutrients. They also contribute to the body's life force. They are high in fiber and contribute to the health of your digestive system. The lecithin in sprouts helps the body get rid of cholesterol.
10. Last, but not least, sprouts support your immune system. They have antioxidants that protect from radiation and toxic chemicals. The body has built-in devices to rebuild and heal itself, and the antioxidants in sprouts help the body carry out this important function. Because they’re rich in antioxidants, they help protect you from toxic build-up–the plague of the 21st century. The proper function of the immune system is boosted by the antioxidant enzymes, such an essential part of this living food.

You will need to look long and hard to find a more perfect food!
