The Power and Benefits of Sprouting: A Nourishment Revolution with Doug Evans

Check out my conversation with Doug Evans, an early pioneer in the natural food industry and Author of The Sprout Book. Our topic today is "Revolutionizing Growing Your Own Food and The Power of Sprouts." Doug is the former co-founder of Organic Avenue, founder of Juicero, and pioneer of the sprouting movement. He has been channeling the power of sprouts and his transformative plans into The Sprout Book and advising tens of thousands of people on the ancient wisdom of sprouts as a food source. Learn how sprouts can supercharge your nutrition with exponentially more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than their mature counterparts. Doug shares his personal journey discovering sprouts and writing "Sprouting: The Complete Guide to Growing Nutritious Sprouts at Home."  He is creating a radical shift in wellness through his discussion of growing sprouts and their healing benefits. This nutritious revolution is accessible and affordable and can be done anywhere from luxury kitchens to camper vans. Doug encourages others to achieve their most significant health potential by controlling how and what they consume. This sustainable eating and lifestyle hack is excellent for the environment. I eat a plant-based diet, and highly recommend this vegan nutrition food source.  His growing venture and recipes have been highlighted in USA Today, Goop, Shape,  Well + Good, and more.  We discuss how to grow your own sprouts and the nutritional benefits of sprouts when it comes to fighting cancer, supporting your immune system, improving gut health, and supporting your microbiome - this is all you need to know when it comes to sprouting seeds!  (00:00) - Intro (02:02) - The journey to sprouting (02:38) - Surviving in a food desert (05:02) - The miracle of sprouts (12:21) - The power of broccoli sprouts (22:51) - Sprouts in space: NASA's research (23:57) - Sprouts in your daily diet (26:35) - The magic of sprouts in smoothies (26:49) - The importance of water quality in sprouting (28:27) - Choosing the right container for sprouting: jars vs trays (28:49) - The art of sprouting amidst a busy lifestyle (31:17) - The nutritional power of sprouts in salads (31:38) - The secret to enhancing your sprouts: raw tahini
