As the cost of goods across the board continue to inflate, as the world’s currencies continually lose their value and purchasing power on a daily basis, the need for food that has not been depleted of necessary nutrients is critical – while not having to smash open the piggybank to do it.
This is where sprouting comes in. It is super cheap, the health benefits are enormous, and it’s so easy a caveman could do it!
There are a variety of sprouts: from beans, to seeds, peas, leafy greens, grains, and other cruciferous veggies.
Though the benefits of each sprout type will vary from each other, they all are loaded with a list of vitamins, macro and micronutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, proteins; they are immune boosting, anti-cancer, energy boosting, mood boosting, anti-aging, and so much more.
Here are two videos from Dr. Eric Berg DC that explain the nutritional benefits of sprouts:
I have provided a handful of videos that will do a much better job explaining the process than I probably could (and gives a visual guide), but it really boils down to just a few simple supplies and steps: Get the seed/grain/sprout etc., put them in a jar or sprouting tray, rinse them in water for roughly 5 or so days, keep them in dark lighting, and them eat them.
That’s a crude summation of how to do it. As I said, it is very easy to do.
Furthermore, the cost is also VERY feasible.
According to a Youtuber “FullyRawKristina,” she purchased her sprouting seeds from True Leaf Market – which also sells the additional materials needed – and she purchased a 12 pound variety pack with each individual bag weighing one pound. This equates to 8 half cups servings of seeds. A half cup will net you at least 4 cups of fully-grown sprouts. This means that you get approximately 32 cups of fully-grown sprouts to eat. With the 12 bags that she purchased, she will net 384 cups of sprouts: more than a cup for every day for a single year. That brings the total cost to a single quarter (25 cents) for one cup a day!
Needless to say, this is a huge money saver. Some grocery stores will sell sprouts in their produce section for much higher prices, compared to if you grow them yourselves.
And, while one cup is not huge by any means, sprouts are chock-full of nutrients and tend to higher have levels of satiety, meaning, your body will feel fuller sooner.
These videos below show the process and some of the other benefits these sprouts contain:

[13] He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. [14] He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; [15] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. [16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; [17] Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.Psalms 104:13-17
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 2
Regular readers know that times ahead of us are no doutably going to get rougher, with all these vaccine mandates and the inevitable return to the lockdowns. Therefore, growing and producing is a MUST. It’s pathetic that we all (that includes me) have gotten so far away from the way things used to be, the biblical way of doing things. Not necessarily sprouting, per say, but I think you get my point.
Moreover, the threat of a definite power outage and grid-down situation will eventually come to pass, if you have been keeping up with The WinePress.
I never have done sprouting, but I plan to start doing this immediately. I think this is a fantastic thing to start doing as soon as possible. It is incredibly easy to do, and you quite literally need water or some sort of container/tray. It’s too easy and CHEAP not to do.
On top of that, this is a great way to sell your produce if you make enough of it. If the grocery store can charge the prices that they do, why can’t you?
[16] She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. [17] She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. [18] She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. Proverbs 31:16-18
[11] And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; [12] That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
And taking this a bit further: let’s say you are in a desperate situation and you have to get out of the area and into the wilderness, this is something that could be done on the go and feast upon when ready.
I do want to make a quick note, however, about “FullyRawKristina.” She is what is called a “fully-raw vegan,” which I do not recommend. This means she ONLY eats fruits and veggies. I understand the Bible’s position on the issue of liberty on meats versus herbs and veggies. There is not a right or wrong answer, but I will tell you from doing some more background research into Kristina, fully-raw veganism is simply not a sustainable lifestyle. Just a few years ago she looked noticeably different. The reason is because she is missing out on a LOT of vital nutrients that she lacks, that just eating fruits and veggies simply will not get you. I think it is a great diet for a detoxification period, but not a lifestyle. I have nothing personal against Kristina, nor am I “shaming” her, but this is testable, observable, and demonstrable science that cannot be ignored.
But the bottom line is sprouting is super healthy, cheap, and easy to do, and I think we all should start doing this ASAP.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
