Letter Re: Chia Grass Sprouts are a Super Food
Mr Rawles,
I don't recall if I have ever seen a mention on the blog about this widely
known (or maybe just remembered) product so I thought I would give it a mention.
We have been using Chia (of "Chia Pet" fame of yesteryear, a.k.a. Salba
[grain/grass seed] ) for a little over one year now and this stuff is incredibly
versatile for
anything food related.
Ounce for ounce this stuff is far more nutritious than any other grains on
the market. Here is a link to one of the places I found to purchase
in bulk: Hidalgo Foods. They also have documentation about the product as well.
Note: I
have no vested interest in this company other than I have purchased more
than 100 pounds and their service was excellent. Last, with the cost of wheat
and other commodities today this stuff (purchased in bulk) is not much more
expensive and nutritive value is more than worth the added expense.
Regards, -
R.E.
JWR Replies: I am a big believer in sprouting. The nutritive
value of sprouts is tremendous There are quite a few articles and letters on
the topic in our archives. Using our
Search
window (at the top of SurvivalBlog's right hand bar), just search
on
the words "sprouts" and "sprouting". I haven't tried sprouting Salba, but I
plan to soon give it a try.
