5 Easy Ways to Incorporate Nutrient-Rich Super foods into your next Family Meal

Flax, chia, etc. are nutrient dense super foods. What we don't know is that all seeds, grains, and pulses are high in anti nutrients, blocking mineral absorption. Sprouting these seeds helps to overcome the nutrient blocking properties of these seeds.

Sprouting is nothing new. The ancients have been doing it for years. At Back2theGarden, we sprout, dry, and mill our seeds in a gluten free, organic facility.

Here's 5 easy way to incorporate them into your family's meals and snacks.
