Sprouted seeds, beans, grains and nuts are one of the most concentrated nutritional power house foods available and so one of the best foods we can offer to our parrots. When sprouted, these foods are an easy to digest plant that is at its peak nutritionally. As an example of how much sprouting increases nutrition, in 1997 a study was done that found one ounce of broccoli sprouts contained more of an anti carcinogenic substance than two pounds of broccoli!
When a seed begins to sprout, natural chemical changes take place. As a result enzymes are produced to convert nutrients for the growing plant to utilize. As sprouting continues, carbohydrates are transformed by enzymes into simple sugars. Complex proteins are converted into simple amino acids, and fats change into fatty acids. All are easily digestible compounds, making sprouts an easy to digest food source. Even sometimes hard to digest beans become easily digestible once they are sprouted. Please note however that it may be best to sprout beans until they have at least a 1/4"-1/2" tail or longer to further increase their digestibility.
How to Sprout:
1) Remove any broken, cracked, or discolored seeds that you notice.
2) Wash seeds gently.
3) Place seeds in a clean sprouter and add cool water to soak. (If you are sprouting mung, adzuki or broccoli seeds, soak in warm water 90*-115*). In general you will add 4 times more water than seed. You may also add some kelp or wheat grass to water, which may add even more nutrients to your sprouts.
4) Soak seeds; the times will vary but in general soak for 12 hours.
5) After the soak, cover top of container, drain and rinse.
6) Rinse with cool water (around 60*) and drain sprouts 3 times a day.
7) You can rinse with clean water or add some organic apple cider vinegar. If you like, you can add straight apple cider vinegar to your final rinse and let sprouts soak for 15 min. Rinse well. Adding apple cider vinegar helps to guard against bacteria, fungi and gives the added benefit of even more enzymes.
