sprouted tofu is good for:

. energy

. bone health

. nutrient absorption

. lowering cholesterol levels

. protein, calcium, iron, omega-3 fats

. antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer

//\ ||| -= sprouted foods are living & continue to grow & gain nutrients after they've been harvested, unlike regular foods that begin to lose their nutrients once picked. in all sprouted foods, nutrients are increased; in sprouted nuts & seeds specifically, fat content is decreased. from what i've gathered so far, you can find grains, beans, nuts, cereal, rice, bread, pasta, & tortillas in sprouted form. as a rule: the more whole, the more uncooked, the more sprouted a food is, the more energy it will provide.

//\ ||| -= i'm one of those people that always craves a balance of sweet & savory when it comes to meals. i prepared a tofu scramble with sweet potato home fries for breakfast this morning which satisfied that criteria kinda perfectly.

//\ ||| -= the original recipe called for a mix of both regular potatoes & sweet potatoes, but i only had the latter so that's what i used. sweet mini peppers replaced red bell peppers in my version because that's all my kitchen provided. if you're into spice, you can add a seeded, chopped jalapeño in the mix as well. always customize recipes to suit your own diet, tastes, allergies, & grocery supply.
