Food with Protein for High Energy Demands
03.06.10
One of the queries 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 losing out on the large levels of protein they require. Luckily there is an effortless way to achive this by eating sprouted foods. Most legumes and beans are a important source of food with protein and compared to smaller seeds, they are very easy to sprout. The larger seeds or legumes have a larger 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 often and they are less likely to be spoiled by mold.
Those who have high demands for protein through activities like body building workouts often restrict their approach to animal proteins when searching 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 number of different foods they can be used in, as they have quite a neutral flavor. 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 large amounts of sprouts at very low cost, so they can be added to nearly any meal.
