The media has been buzzing about the negative health impact that trans-fat (a.k.a. partially hydrogenated oils) can have on the human body. Some cities, such as New York have even gone as far as to require all restaurants to go trans-fat free.

Sprouts are a fantastic way to dramatically increase the nutritional value of any meal and should be an important part of your daily diet.

These enzymes also help the food ‘grow’ (hence the sprout) and are therefore, fully alive. They are also highly nutritious and contain concentrated amounts of nutrients. (more…)
Give the gift of health!
