Written for everyone who is interested in good nutrition at a low cost -- and with great taste -- this highly practical and fully illustrated book provides readers with all the information necessary to start and maintain an indoor sprout garden. The book discusses a wide variety of sprouts and sprouting methods, explains the sprouts' importance in a healthy diet, and presents a wealth of simple and delicious recipes. The Sprouting Book is a perfect guide for dieters, concerned parents, athletes, vegetarians, people on the go, and anyone who wants to look and feel better. Publishers Weekly Author and publisher state at the outset that they are not responsible for adverse effects resulting from the reader's adoption of Wigmore's Living Food Diet, a nutritional regimen that uses germinated and sprouting seeds. With that prominent caveat, the book goes on to discuss the history of this type of food, a staple in the Orient since ancient days. Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute of Boston, includes lists of seeds for sprouting, directions for maintaining a sprout garden (indoors and out) by various methods, and recipes for food and drinks from the harvest. Clear drawings complement the text. (September)
