The most important components of the system are germinated seeds and young plants. Different seeds are used: radish, chickpea, lentil, lucerne, clover, sesame, etc. Wash them and let them soften and germinate in clean water for several hours (between 8 and 15 hours). Afterwards, rinse them and put them in a glass jar with sieve, upside down, so that the water would leak. Leave them in this position to germinate for a few days. Once or twice a day wash them with water. After approximately 2 - 3 days, the sprouts appear. They are good to eat when the twig is approximately 1-2 cm. They can be used as such or in salads, soups, etc.

As for gardening young plants, almost always use sunflower, buckwheat and wheat. The first two can be consumed as such. After staying in water, put them in trays with soil and cover them a few days, in order to germinate and burgeon. Afterwards, water them regularly, like the flowers from your balcony. When the twigs are approximately 5-6 cm high, they can be harvested and used in salads.

The wheat cannot be consumed as such, it is too difficult to chew. You can use its juice by chopping it in a special device, or, in lack of one, in the usual chopper. The quantity of juice for a tray is not very big, but the juice is extremely concentrated, enriched with various good elements which are very quickly assimilated by the body. As far as advantages are concerned, it goes without saying that consuming this kind of products is very beneficial: vitamins, minerals, and other elements, in fresh state, without industrial procession, without chemical supplements…

The list of recipes is extremely diverse. Elaine used to make all kind of dishes: soups, second dish, salads, juice, dessert, bread. It is quite difficult to keep a diet only with this type of food. I remember the week I spent with her when I ate only uncooked food and the reactions of my organism were, as expected, quite strong. It is about the usual detoxification that, on the third day, only allowed me to go to school and nothing more but languishing as much as I could. Therefore, maybe a diet of a few days, once every few months, would be more indicated for a citizen of our days. The key word is, as in many other cases, moderation.
