Like many of us in the morning rush, breakfast is often the least inspiring meal of all. When you’re simply not in the mood for anything from the stove, make yourself a butter toast with nothing more than a handful of Alfalfa Sprouts. The slightly salted butter adds flavour when toasted and you have a simple breakfast that’s anything but plain.
“Alfalfa Sprouts contain every essential amino acid. They provide a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B, D, E, F, K and U and have high anti-oxidant properties. They are low in calories, fat and salt; and are high in fibre. And they are a good source of various minerals. Alfalfa Sprouts also contain Saponins which lower the bad cholesterol and fat but not the good HDL fats and raw ones contain a lot of enzymes that that help the body digest the nutrients in your food and so increases the absorption of the nutrients you’re getting into your body.The health benefits of alfalfa sprouts are wide. They have been known to be useful in the treatment of urinary tract infection, kidney, bladder and prostate disorders. They are a natural diuretic, alkalizing and detoxifying the body, especially the liver. They also increase bone formation and density and prevent bone breakdown or osteoporosis.” from 938Live.sg.
