The tradition of sprouted grains and sprouts dates back to ancient times. 5,000 years ago, the Chinese were among the first to recognize their health benefits. In Peru,  thanks to quinoa,  the Incas constructed their empire. Researchers have discovered that primitive people like the Georgians, Ecuadorians or the Hunzas from the Himalayas have been using  sprouting techniques for centuries. More recently, Captain Cook was able to accomplish his long journeys  keeping his crew free of scurvy. It is interesting to note that amongst all great civilizations, at the point of their expansion, sprouted grains were used thus providing all of the vitality and vigor necessary to ensure the development of these societies. Conversely, when these civilizations began to decline, eating habits became heavier and sprouted seeds fell into oblivion. Today, many scientists agree on the undeniable power of healing and restorative and healing powers of living foods
