"This book is so driving me crazy that I want to re-write it. It's 200 pages, and all I want to know about sprouts can be put on 50! Couldn't he just put a chapter entitled Alfalfa- so when I want to sprout it there's all I need to know. Instead, it's all mixed in a big salad, so alfalfa is on page 11, 41, 48,58,...70, 159...etc. Just to find out how long to soak a certain seed takes me half hour browsing through pages. He also prefers this strange method with bamboo baskets, and most people who sprout nowdays live in big cities, not on the banks of Mekong Delta. Everyone I know uses automatic or plastic sprouters. The good news is that it does offer lots of useful advice, and he does know a lot- it's just I wish he had someone to help him organize it in more user-friendly way."
"Good resource for sprout descriptions, not really for sprouting methods.
For sprouting methods, the author mostly describes what he thinks is the best way - baskets, and bags, so not as helpful in the different sprouting methods.
Has good descriptions of the sprouts and their flavors. Discusses the need for cooking some sprouts - mostly the bean and pea ones."
"Exactly what it says it is - a complete guide to sprouting, jam-packed with lots of information and new ideas. Steve ?Sproutman? Meyerowitz is a bit wacky but very interesting, a zealous advocate of raw food who claims he was cured of a variety of ailments after filling his New York apartment with greenery. ?Sprout House? came to feed dozens of people, and Meyerowitz shares with us his findings about nutrition and indoor gardening.
This is a comprehensive guide, with a startling variety of potential sprouts, with many flavors, textures, and medicinal properties, all carefully documented. Step by step tips for growing, what kind of water to use, each sprout?s level of difficulty, seed resources, nutritional and chemical compositions, and the Passion of the Sproutman all combine to make this a very useful, even definitive, book on the subject.
My own experiences have been quite simple, basic sprouting in a jar or bowl, and the results were quick and delicious. If you are at all interested in sprouting or raw food, this is a great book, recommended."
"This book covers great information on the different methods of sprouting. I didn't care for the format it was written, it jumped around instead of being a smooth read."
