CHAPTER 14 - TYPES OF SEEDS FOR STORAGE
Seed storage for emergency food supplies generally falls under two categories: seeds to use for growing crops, and seeds to use for growing sprouts.
Growing sprouts is important when a faster method of obtaining nutrition is needed without the lengthy growing season that regular crops require. In fact, sprouts can be grown in as little as 48 hours needing only water to do so.
You can grow sprouts without soil or light which makes them all the more beneficial in a survival situation. The nutritional benefits of eating various types of sprouts are many.
They are packed with protein and vitamins that may not be found from any other source during disasters. Almost anyone can go 48 hours with no food without too much suffering or lasting effects – especially when the nutrition packed sprouts are ready to be eaten after 48 hours of fasting.
Sprouts will not only help you maintain whatever muscle mass you already have, but they can also help you increase your muscle mass which is desperately needed for strength during disasters.
While we can store many dried, dehydrated, or canned foods for emergency usage, nothing beats having a source for fresh and living nutrition that can be available for consumption within just a couple of days.
Some sprouts are even know to help prevent cancer because they carry nutrients such as I3C which is proven and documented to be an excellent cancer fighting ingredient.
Sprouts also contain chlorophyll which is a known blood-cleanser all the more necessary in survival situations.
