Boost Nutrition by Sprouting | Absorb More!

The second video from my ongoing Simnett Essentials series is all about sprouting! From increasing the absorption of nutrients to actually changing the amino acid structure to a complete protein, sprouting is a powerful tool of nature.

People often avoid sprouting because it seems so much more difficult than actually just eating the seed itself. Here I explain why you might want to start and I show my method for sprouting delicious sunflower seeds.

Please 'like' as it really helps my videos get seen!

Thanks for watching. Video suggestions and questions down below.

I love getting comments so, don't be shy!

Derek, a friend recently told me not to take advice from anyone who doesn’t have the results that you want. I said, Derek Simnett has the results I want so I’ll follow him.

But you’re such a fancy cook, making sauces, and doing complicated tricks that honestly most of it goes right over my head. I’m new to veganism and I’m recovering from addiction. I still don’t know how to eat enough calories in the day.

The prevailing emotion in my journey so far is confusion

there's such a perfect symmetry to reality... I just started doing exactly this, and enjoying an amazing Sprouts salad every day for the last week, and making my own salad dressing... and now I see this. And stuff like that always happens, these mirrors and symmetries in my reality.

Today I've started sprouting seeds for the first time — it's mung beans. And I've just come across your awesome video! Thank you so much and warmest regards from Moscow ♥️

I cannot believe I missed the trick with Mason jars - just replace the flat lid with a cloth and screw the remain part of the lid - was always thinking I need to punch holes into lids.- thanks.

My husband loves sunflower seeds. He even puts them in his oats in the morning. Thank you for this! He is thoroughly intrigued and I’m going to start sprouting because of this video! Thanks for the information!!!! You make it look so simple and easy! Everyone should start doing this!!!

[chriswanderer]

So this is what sprouting is! Cool! Thank you

[ekowkumasi]

whoa! only after a few days?! I am definitely trying this out. I think this will be the best move for me, too, as my goal is to increase nutrient absorption in my diet. thank you so much for this walkthrough!

You dont have the nicest viewers, all you read in our comments is a response to you. And you, sir, are a force of beautiful nature, exquisitely articulated.

You are so lovely- thanks for this video, your energy and enthusiasm. I've got my babies growing in the kitchen just now- a couple of days in. First time for sunflower seeds, and as you said, always blown away of how a wee little seed sprouts life. Nature, hey? ;) Thanks again and keep shining!

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. Most videos I found are “ how to grow videos.” This video explained the “ why, ” which is what I needed to share. Much appreciated.

Awesome! !
I love sprout and have a multi-tiered sprouter. Since putting it in the middle of our dinner table to sprout seeds and beans my "fussy eater" 8yo dd has started eating them whenever they are ready!
I rotate the tiers and before long they are all gone 😍 sprouts are amazing! !

[stinrab]

Made these this week, following Derek's directions exactly. The sprouts came out perfect! Thanks mate, I am chowing down on them as I write this

[susancutler]

Wonderful! I have grown my own before and they do taste amazing. You make it easy. Thanks for sharing your passion.

This is so cool, I have to try sprouting Sunflower seeds, I already sprout Lentils and Quinoa, I love them, can't wait to try this, thanks for sharing 🌱👍🌱

[temureviewsmegaload]

they also contain a ton of other nutrients and copper towards the recommended rda, especially necessary if u take a calcium and magnesium supplement which apparently makes u low on copper.This is the easiest best way without dirt.T.y. 👍

[GodmyX]

I sprout 280g (=of raw seeds) every week to have 40g of sprouts/microgreens every day. Mostly the result weight is almost 600g on day 5! (the first day is mostly a soak day though as I count it)

Thanks for showing it on a video! :)

[delarow]

this sprout hack is wildly dope, thank you for this! there is so much hope from your channel to follow my 60 day juice cleanse!

[wenesco]

Wow! Mind blown! Did not know this I am definitely doing this, Thanks

[ruatibuongpuijohnsen]
