Healthy FoodEnjoy the Amazing Benefits of Eating Real “ Live Food” That Will Help You Reach Your Health Goals Fast.

We all know that in order to enjoy a healthy and happy lifestyle we need to eat fresh foods that enhance our overall wellbeing and help protect us from disease.

Eating a large variety of fresh, raw vegetables is one of the best ways you can achieve your health goals and feel younger and more energetic.

But all too often with today’s fast-paced lifestyles it can be hard to find the time to eat enough fruits and vegetables throughout the day to achieve true nutritional balance. This is where highly nutritious and delicious sprouts can give you a helping hand to ensure you achieve your health and diet goals faster and easier.

Sprouts are a “living food”, and adding a healthy dose of these “Superfoods” to your daily meals is a quick and easy way to ensure you get all the minerals and nutrients you need to improve your body’s overall health.

When the plant is in its sprouting stage there is a tremendous amount of energy and nutritional value contained in the small sprout. When you eat from our delicious range of fresh sprouts, imagine that each one is developing into a fully-grown plant and you are receiving all of that concentrated energy!

Our sprouts are carefully grown and nurtured from planting, through to harvest, right to your table. This ensures that all the nutritional benefits are maintained and the crisp freshness and superior taste you expect are second to none.

Storing SproutsSelection and Storage

Selecting and storing your sprouts for maximum freshness and flavour is easy if you follow these few simple steps.

Only purchase sprouts that are stored in the refrigerator. They must look crisp and bright with plump fresh stalks. Avoid soggy sprouts with discolouration and make sure you check the use-by date before purchasing.

When you get your sprouts home, store them in the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator immediately. Always wash your sprouts before consumption and allow enough time before cooking for all the excess water to drain properly.

After cooking it’s best to use a ventilated container to refrigerate any left over sprouts you may have.

Please read on to learn more about the amazing health benefits, delicious recipes and secret freshness tips you will enjoy with every packet of Chilik grown sprouts.

In addition Alfalfa is loaded in Vitamins A, E, and K assisting with arthritis, and bladder and urinary tract infections while also maintaining a healthy blood system.

With all these amazing benefits imagine how much healthier you will feel just by adding a little Alfalfa to your daily diet.

Selection and Serving Tips

An easy way to get more alfalfa into your diet is to simply add the sprouts to your favourite sandwiches and salads. This will not only taste great but will go a long way to improving your overall health.

Juicing your alfalfa sprouts is another simple and delicious way to add them to your diet. Just rinse and drain your alfalfa sprouts, then tightly wrap them in a lettuce leaf or any other type of vegetable leaf and feed them into your juicer.

Drink your fresh alfalfa juice immediately for the best taste and greatest nutritional boost.
