It is easy to make sprout balls. Purchase organic sproutable fava beans . In a bowl soak 2 Cups dry beans in 5 Cups of filtered water for 12 to 24 hrs. Then, rinse and drain for 3 days. Peel outer rubbery skins off . Rinse again being careful not to brake off sprouts.
CUT AWAY ANY BAD SPOTS..and discard. .They should be nearly white and pretty.
Then steam for 6 minutes ( about a cup at a time) They are ready to eat at this point or make them into sprout balls or freeze as is and eat as needed.
1 sprout = approx 2 mg l-dopa
Ingredients for balls: Warm 3/4 Cup Stevia Tea (recipe below)
Add one 16 oz jar natural Smuckers Peanut Butter (without hydrogenated oil)
2 TBS sorghum molasses and 1/4 teas sea salt and mix
Add 1 Cup ground raw pumpkin seeds (or half Cup pumpkin seeds/ half cup ground
oatmeal)
Add finely mashed steamed fava sprouts (lessen other ingred. if alot were bad)
Mix well and form 1 inch balls (bite size) and freeze in single layers in a container with wax paper between layers or in ziplock bags for easy access.
I now eat 2 to3 a day in addition to my fava tops tincture doses.
STEVIA TEA: Buy dried stevia leaves or powder (Herbal Advantage carries)
place 2 teas crushed leaves or powder in a 16 oz jar. Fill jar with boiling water. Cover
steep 20 min to make tea. Strain. Use liquid as a sweetner replacement in recipees.
