Are grains unnecessary?
I've recently started learning about this whole health food thing
(since regular American food is horrible for my health and I can't take it anymore). As far as I know, veggies have a lot of nutrients, so do you even need to eat any grains? I was thinking of buying King Arthur whole wheat flour and making my own bread, but I'm not going to do it if it's not really worth it for the amount of nutrition it gives. |

Especially raw food, people and the > vast quantity of people that eat junk, which as all the nutrition taken > from the grains Raw fooders eat a lot of grains too. They just eat them in their sprouted forms. Wheat sprouts after just a couple of days are great by themselves, and older sprouts often have the green part juiced. It's usually called wheat- grass juice. When sprouted, they develop nutrients that weren't there in their unsprouted state like vit. C. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ |
