I don't eat sprouted lentils for carbs. I eat them for protein.
One cup of lentil sprouts is 7 g of protein and 14% iron. For about the same calories (89), one banana only has 1.1 g of protein and only one percent of iron. THis makes a big difference to women, say when they need to rebuild their blood every month.
Anyway, most vegetarians and vegans would never think of having to choose b

994. Re: Purple yam juice
I forgot to add that the juice I drank with the yam juice was different today. It was a base of cantaloupe with passion fruit juice and the yam juice. So delightful and dreamy. The floral passion fruit hints enveloping the blueberry yam starch and the sweet milky cantaloupe frothiness was paradisical. I never was a connoisseur of wine, but I learned to be one of juice.

Do you peel them before juicing?

No, they are organic. I wash them though.
JTP, this juice is awesome. A close second is garnet yam juice. I prefer it over carrot juice.

996. Purple yam juice
Purple yam juice. These yams are not too sweet. I used to get purple yams from a different farmer that almost tasted like blueberries. I placed two dark purple grapes by the yams for color comparison.
For me, there is a hint of blueberry flavor compared to straight up garnet yam juice.
I like stirring yam juice with orange juice and a bit of coconut milk together.

None-the-less, consuming non sprouted chia is quite radical because the protein is notoriously undigestable. According to this science test the protein in chia is only 24% digestable. Notice how more digestable milled seed is at 79%. Imagine milled seed sitting in rejuvalic or sprouted seed mixed with rejuvalic,it would be much more highly absorbable than ordinary raw chia.

Hey Brome, for sure that would work to get the juice out. And that is step one of a two step process of fully extracting the passion fruit from the seeds.
But you will still have the pulp clinging to the seeds and that's where my technique of using the food processor comes in handy.
I made a mistake and said the techique is only worthwhile if you have a lot of passion fruit. that's not tru

My first video had rough footage because I was holding the camera while I did it, so I redid it with fresh passion fruit. No need to watch this unless you have a lot of passion fruit to process. TSM told me that one passion fruit is $2 in Australia where he lives. But passion fruit vines are tenacious and it's easy to be overwhelmed by a lot of fruit.

Dear Sproutarian Man,
I am busy in life, so I have bought flax from this company, Bio-kinetics. According to the nutrition fact sheets, 20g provides 100% B-12 for an adult daily. It has to do with their sprouting process.

you could do lemon water or add lemon to your orange juice or lemon to a raw soup or just straight up lemon. But lemon is bad for your teeth, so use a straw, if straight. Yes, lemon is one of the top the astringents.
Don't forget to chew some raw hot pepper for sore throat.

To La Veronique,
I forgot to add that when I make the seed cheese, I usually don't have time to mess with rejuvelac or probiotics, so I end up just using lemon juice with some orange to blend the seeds. The lemon makes it taste like it has been cultured, when it really hasn't been. But still letting it drain for a couple of hours does cause slight fermentation. The trick is adding powdered c

Summary of my technique is as follows:
Mash passion fruit through a wide screen stainless steel sieve with a fork. My experience is that I get 1:1 ratio of juice and pulp. The pulp is mainly seeds with some fruit still attached and the seeds are still covered with some passion fruit.
I refrigerate the separated juice and add to sweet juices, like watermelon.

Hi La Veronique
I gave up on the idea of aged cheese. I realized that the seeds would just get oxidized and that I would need to use too much salt. So, I let it go.
This is how I have been making "cheese" so far. I sprout sunflower and sesame seeds. I blend with a little water and pour through a very fine mesh sieve. I add powdered chia seed to thicken it. I let it drain th

I will share with you some of the lessons from a summer full of passion fruit.
Passion fruit imparts a wonderful floral exotic sweet tartness to a dish or beverage, and people would probably eat them more often, if there were not so many seeds. Here I show how to remove the fruit from the seeds.

To answer JTP's question, my white sapote is VERY sweet. It's so sweet, that it really can't be eaten alone. I have tried different white sapotes. My friend's sapote trees 20 miles north of me are not as sweet, even though it seems like the same variety. Perhaps it has to do with how much they
