Food with Protein for High Energy Demands
One of the questions that is often asked is how would someone who does consuming physical labor or athletic activities like weight lifting, incorporate more living foods into their diet without missing out on the huge amounts of protein they need. Fortunately, this could not be simpler, as sprouted foods, particularly most legumes and beans are a important source of food with protein and they are simpler to sprout than smaller seeds. The larger seeds or legumes have a greater surface area and allow better air flow around them, so there is less moisture build up during sprouting. This means they do not need to be rinsed as frequently and they are less likely to be spoiled by mold.
Those who have high demands for protein through activities like body building workouts often limit their approach to animal proteins when looking for protein in food. Animal protein like lean cuts of meat certainly do offer good amounts of protein but vegetable proteins can have even higher levels. The main benefit with vegetable proteins is that they are more easily digested by the body and are then available to be converted in to energy. Sprouted foods [often|can|usually] have their protein levels at their [peak|prime|maximum], as the sprouting process is the [awakening|coming alive] of the seed or grain as it [bursts|explodes] in to life.
The most [common|popular] beans to sprout for high protein energy are:
- garbanzo beans (chick peas)
- mung beans
- lentils
- almost any type of pea.
Sprouted beans are incredibly versatile in the amount of different foods they can be used in, as they have quite a neutral taste. You can add them to low temperature stir fry’s, burritos, bean dips like hummus, cooked rice, soups (add the sprouted beans or legumes after the soup or stew is done cooking, while it is cooling in [preparation|readiness] for serving) and [many|numerous] other dishes. If you need food with protein to support your lifestyle, there is nothing like sprouts if you are doing intense physical labor or weight training routines of any kind. Using the Marche Sprouting Method, you can grow sprouts at very low cost, so they can be added to nearly any meal.
