A National Bestseller, The Sprout Book is the book on the power of sprouts as an ultra-food for health, weight loss, and optimum nutrition.
Written by Doug Evans, a pioneer in the plant-based health movement for over 20 years, and with a foreword by Joel Fuhrman, M.D., The Sprout Book empowers readers to embark on a plant-based way of eating that’s low-cost and accessible. The book shows us how easy it is to boost the nutrition of any snack, smoothie, or meal with sprouts.
Among the mind-blowing qualities of sprouts:
― they have 20–30 times the phytonutrients of other vegetables and 100 times those of meat
― they pack cancer-fighting properties and help to protect us from cardiovascular disease and environmental pollutants
― they aid in digestion
― they are a simple way to grow your own vegetables and are compatible with all diets
― they are incredible for regulating insulin levels
The forty recipes inside feature sprouts on top of raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, spices, sea vegetables, and top-quality cold-pressed vegetable oils for the healthiest diet possible. The Sprout Book includes informative interviews with leaders in functional medicine and nutrition including Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Joel Kahn and more. Use this book to change your diet and super-charge your health with one of the most nutrient-dense, sustainable foods on earth!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020Doug Evan's book is filled with such great information and education on the world's most nutrient living food----SEEDS! Easy access, very inexpensive, quick and easy to make and filled with loads of antioxidants, immune boosting elements, protein-- you name it! I buy (or used to buy) sprouts from the grocery store or Farmers market not knowing that I could make them myself, and how easy it was. I knew they were healthy....even healthier than their "parents"! Like a handful of broccoli sprouts has the same nutrition as many heads of broccoli! I'm a Plant based nutritionist/chef, cooking school teacher, and I never tried "making" sprouts. Then I met Doug listening to him on the Rich Roll Podcast and got so Inspired that I can make so many different types of sprouts, so much cheaper and more delicious than store bought, I immediately bought the book. I bought some seeds and have sprouted Broccoli, Collard green and alfalfa sprouts. I have red clover, lentils, garbanzo beans, hemp seeds, radish seeds...all at the ready! Seriously...making your own sprouts taste better, and are so much fresher and last longer than store bought. I had no idea! It's amazing how many seeds there are to sprout and how yummy they are. Want to elevate your dishes? Add sprouts. Plus, it's fun to "give birth" to these seedlings, watching them turn into powerhouses of delicious nutrition. Talk about empowering! Read the book, get the sprouts and watch your dishes sing and your health SPROUT! There are lots of good recipes in the book too. Doug didn't leave anything out! He is so caring and brilliant and all about helping people be healthy. You're in good hands with Doug. Just a handful of sprouts in your salad or eaten plain, or put in a smoothie....increases the nutrient density of your diet and helps us become and stay super healthy. Doug is my new most favorite person! Get the book, get inspired, get healthy and thrive! Thank you Doug for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected
So much info in this book and very good quality and value. Think I will get a lot out of it. Could have done with a few diagrams to illustrate what a mature sprout looks like for each variety. Well written
- Graham and AnnetteReviewed in Germany on April 27, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and bursting with enthusiasm!
I love this book. I'm already a keen sprouter, but this book spurred me on further. Most books on the subject are matter-of-fact 'how to' guides which are certainly useful, but Doug Evans adds more information and above all, excitement. I can't imagine reading this book and then being anything other than absolutely determined to get started.
