I have something to share with you today that has been proven to prevent cancer, Sulforaphane. It is found in high amounts in a very easy to grow and eat food. Broccoli Sprouts. Broccoli sprouts contain 20-50 times more Sulforaphane then a serving of adult broccoli. Sulforaphane is an antioxidant and stimulators of natural detoxifying enzymes. Basically it can help to stave off the free radicals all over the place.

I used to grow sprouts on a regular basis. Then my jar broke and I just forgot to replace it, or just never quite got around it it. Recently Frontier Natural Products Co-op sent me a Sprouting Jar and a healthy supply of Organic Broccoli seeds to start my sprouting habit again. With in 4 days I had a nice jar of sprouts, and have been able to use them on salads and sandwiches since! I have Annie Chun’s Kimchi Soup Noodle Bowl and I have even been adding them to that! So tasty! Broccoli sprouts have a little more kick to them then Alfalfa sprouts which really allow them to make or break a meal. In my case they make it! and in Craig’s too. he likes them in salads and sandwiches too.

The jar is just a regular Ball Jar and then has this lid:

I really enjoy them because it gives me a way to “garden” and eat fresh home grown veggies in the winter. It really can’t get any easier then this:

To sprout, use 2 tablespoons seeds per quart jar or Easy Sprout Sprouter. Soak in water 10-12 hours, then drain. Rinse seeds 2 to 3 times a day until ready to use (about 5 days).

I think most of you would find other items at Frontier Co-op too. Organic Herbs to make teas, Organic spices and seasonings. Not to mention essential oils, waxes, and clays. Plus Vanilla, cocoa and sugar. I know I left a hundred things off of this list, but now I think you know where to start. Most items are organic or Fair Trade which goes a long way in my book.

Plus Frontier Natural Products Co-op wants to give one of you a chance to win a Sprouter and a 1 lb bag of Organic Broccoli seeds! This is a $50 Value!
