Juicing & Wheatgrass. Eating fruits and vegetables is a great way to provide your family with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, living enzymes, and phytonutrients.

Sprouting & Soaking. Sprouting grains, nuts, and seeds increases vitamin content, neutralizes phytic acid and neutralizes enzyme inhibitors. Soaking grains allows enzymes and helpful organisms to break down and neutralize phytic acid and also pre-digests glulten and other difficult-to-digest proteins, breaking them down into simpler components that are more readily available for absorption. Soaked and sprouted grains should be a regular feature of our diet, and they can be used in numerous ways. In this class we’ll go over the whys and hows and let you taste as well.
