This is a really healthy and alkaline salad using a variety of sprouts.
Sprouts are super healthy and are highly alkalising foods. They are extremely rich in digestible energy, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, beneficial enzymes and phytochemicals.
I absolutely love eating sprouts as they are so versatile and I try to integrate them into lots of different dishes like stir fries, salads, wraps, etc.
This is a great salad, as it is easy and quick to make and very tasty!

Now that the temperatures are steadily rising and the sun shows itelf more often, I love to eat more healthy salads.
I always look out for ways of creating different salads to keep it interesting and whilst doing this, I have come across this recipe using Kohlrabi and a Vegetable Dressing, which I think is delicious. I have eaten this salad in Germany where I come from and where Kohlrabi is widely used.
A Kohlrabi looks a bit like an alien life form, but has been deliberately developed in Northern Europe during the 16th Century. It has a mild flavour and has the ability to absorb the flavour of other ingredients in a meal.

Growing Sprouts for Health & Energy
When I first started learning about alkalising, sprouting was definitely one of those things that I put into the ‘too hard’ basket. It just sounded like something that would be a lot of effort, require expensive equipment, gardening skills and would generally be more effort than it was worth. How wrong was I? It is really easy and it is really, really cheap. And it is a really, REALLY great way to get an instant, easy nutrient hit!
