•  Sprouts are actually freshly germinated edible seeds such as beans, grains and nuts.
•  As a 'living' food, Sprouts continue to grow vitamins after being harvested.
•  During WW11 when the United States was concerned about a possible meat shortage, the scientific community advised the government that the consumption of germinated seeds was the best and the cheapest alternative to proteins in meat.

What to do with Sprouts???

Apart from being a great addition to salads and sandwiches, sprouts make a great supplement to any meal.

The Crunchy Combo adds substance and flavour to soups, stews - we have also added Broccoli with great success.

Use any of our range of produce in omelettes.

The Broccoli Sprouts are great mixed with mashed potatoes.

The possibilities are endless! We will be featuring recipes on the site that we will update as often as possible. If anyone has any recipes they would like to share with us - please send them to us and we would be happy to feature your contribution.

Selection & Storage

Selection - Look for fresh crisp Sprouts. Avoid any Sprouts with dark brown or grey discolouration at the shoots. If Sprouts appear too dry or mushy they may either be old or have been mishandled.

Storage - Sprouts should always be kept refrigerated. Correctly stored, sprouts should have a shelf life of at least  8  to 12 days.  Always check the USE by DATE. If they are rinsed every few days they will stay fresh for a considerable time. Parilla Fresh sprouts are packaged in a recyclable plastic container. Keep the snap-top lid closed to prevent your Sprouts from drying out.

Preparation - Simply rinse, eat and enjoy!
