When l read Ann Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas saying that sprouts are the finest most nourishing food you can possibly eat. Indeed, l know that to be true, and no other food on Earth comes close to the greatness of the sprout. Simply said, fruits and vegetables are greatly inferior to carefully chosen sprouts.

Yes, it was an overnight decision after picking up books by Vik and Dr Ann. I wanted to be like those people and find out what it was like to live on the finest food possible. I never had any interest in eating fruit or vegetables, l only wanted to eat sprouts, seaweeds and algaes. I still have no interest in fruits or vegetables because l see those foods as non event foods and low level. I see sprouts as taking it to a much higher level.

Well, l had to learn how to sprout things and find all the seeds. There were no websites in those days so finding seeds and learning was trial and error.

The sprouts and wanting to be like Ann Wigmore and live the dream. If it wasn't for the sprouts l probably wouldn't have been able to do it. See...the sprout dream kept me going and made me do the impossible.

I only read books by Dr Ann and Viktoras. No websites and no-one else helped me because no-one else seemed to do what l was doing in Australia. I think l was a pioneer on doing a 100% sprouting lifestyle because of various feedback l had from companies and the lack of sprouting equipment, manual juicers, seed grinders etc. We had nothing in Australia to start a sprouting lifestyle so l had to get custom equipment and start off using old soft drink bottles for sprouting. These days it is different, there is plenty of equipment to start a sprouting lifestyle, but it costs big bucks over here to do it.

That is a really important food actually, both the sprouted seed and the green. Always use black oil seeds for the greens because they grow better with a better harvest and all the shells come off. They are more expensive but worth it.

Sprouted chia is another important food. Sprouted sesame is also another top food, and sprouted poppy can also be had once per week with some pumpkin seeds. The greens and the fermented sprouted seeds are the cornerstone of dietary greatness.
