Live Beyond the Norms Sprouts: The Most Nutrient-Dense Food You Can Grow on Your Countertop in Days | Doug Evans
Imagine growing pounds of living, enzyme-rich superfood with just a jar, water, and seeds, using almost no resources while getting up to 100 times more nutrients than mature vegetables.
I sat down with Doug Evans, bestselling author of The Sprout Book and founder of The Sprouting Company, to explore why sprouts became his lifeline after family health tragedies and how he lived exclusively on them for months in the desert.
In this episode, we talk about the high nutrient density of broccoli sprouts and the power of sulforaphane for detoxification and insulin regulation. We discuss why every sprout delivers complete proteins naturally and how simple home sprouting beats grocery produce for freshness and environmental impact.
Doug opens up about his journey from army paratrooper to a health entrepreneur, the lessons from Juicero that shaped his approach, designing the perfect sprouting system, and why sprouts deserve center stage in any longevity-focused diet.
"Sprouts are food, nutrition, and medicine all in one." - Doug Evans
