And naturally the "Farm Bill" has been changed to support massive industrialized farms rather then the small farms it was designed to protect. The whole system is rigged.



Azure Standard has great prices, alfalfa being one exception.

Sunflowers and peas are dirt cheap and produce some of the most nutritious microgreens there are. Even just having a tray of those two, plus wheatgrass or a different cereal grass 5 times a week costs very little. The price is amazing when you consider the nutrition they have, and how expensive it would be to instead eat that much store-bought produce which is sorely lacking in vital nutrients.

Lentils and mung beans don't need to be too concentrated in nutrients, the green sprouts above will give you plenty. The important thing is that lentil and mung bean sprouts have vital life energy (or chi, electromagnetic vibration, whatever you want to call it) and mung bean sprouts, at least, have amazingly potent hormones called "auxinons" which have very powerful anti-aging effects. There are thousands of nutrients not identified by science, don't be fooled by only looking at the vitamins or minerals. Unique phytonutrients, oxygen, hormones, electromagnetic vibration, the list goes on and on.



Yes.



Also, smaller seeds like alfalfa and fenugreek produce much more foo when sprouted then do larger seeds like peas and sunflowers, so the higher cost is artificial. If you go through and actually determine the yield you can get from each seeds, you will find that higher prices do not always mean lower value. Chia, for example, is far more expensive then wheat. However, due to the tiny size of the seeds, a pound of chia will give you many times the amount of juice that a pound of wheat will. You can get a 8 oz of juice from just 2 tablespoons of chia seed, whereas 8 oz of wheatgrass juice requires roughly 1.5 CUPS of wheat berries. Do the math.

Don't forget weeds. They're completely free and loaded with nutrients, and if you're vigilant you can also collect their seeds and get free sprouts as well.
I was excited about learning about weeds but then I realized I live in the middle of the city and there are no quality weeds anywhere. Besides I would look weird walking around trying to find the weeds growing in the cracks of cement. I live in an apartment. Every piece of land is owned.
Also don't the weeds absorb much more toxins?
