When seeds sprout, reserves of nutrients and energy are released. Free from any additives, sprouts make the most natural, enjoyable and healthy instant food. Pound for pound they are more nutritious than any other food, and cheaper and fresher. The Sprouters Handbook is packed with all you need to know about sprouting seeds. In simple language it tells you how to become a mini organic market gardener in your own home. As naturalist David Bellamy says in his foreword, let the exotic world of sprouts light up your life! Edward Cairney has many years experience in natural health care and nutrition. He first discovered sprouts during a period of poor health related to food intolerances caused by bad eating habits. Since then he has been researching and sharing his enthusiasm for the subject through writing and lectures.
