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.
