Antioxidants in Alfalfa Sprouts

Based on the fresh weight of the vegetable, garlic had the highest antioxidant activity against peroxyl radicals (19.4) followed by kale (17.7), spinach (12.6), Brussels sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, broccoli flowers, beets, red bell pepper, onion, corn, eggplant (9.8-3.9) cauliflower, potato, sweet potato, cabbage, leaf lettuce, string bean, carrot, yellow squash, iceberg lettuce, celery, and cucumber (3.8-0.5).

Kale had the highest antioxidant activity against hydroxyl radicals followed by Brussels sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, beets, spinach, broccoli flowers, and the others.
Previously, some fruits were shown to contain high antioxidant activities. In this paper, we report the antioxidant activities of 22 common vegetables, one green tea and one black tea, measured using the automated oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay with three different reactive species: a peroxyl radical generator, a hydroxyl radical generator, and CU2+, a transition metal.

The green and black teas had much higher antioxidant activities against peroxyl radicals than all these vegetables. However, the tea also showed a prooxidant activity in the presence of CU2+, which was not found with any of the vegetables studied.

Goji Berries.....I buy mine from an Asian Store at a reasonable price.

They are in the Lychi family....and can be incorporated into almost anything.

Smoothies...cole slaw....seafood dishes..,..salds etc.

Plump them like you would a raison.

The true goji is of the desert-thorns of the genus Lycium(Lye-SEE-um).I like to make berry berry smoothies.Goji-strawberry,goji-blueberry are my favorite.These I use as a treat for they are very high in simple sugers.I use a vita prep 3 blender to make the berries as smooth as possible.Ah crap now im hungry,time for a sprout sandwich and a green smoothie!

You are like the" Rocky Balboa" of knowledge and "ture" wisdom.

Perhaps someday I will "glow in the darkness as YOU do".

The people I know eat the "goji" berries for the antioxidant features...Not the "simple" sugar effect.

But just knowing that you do....Eat fresh....and stay GREEN is a major relief.....so I do not worry about you.

What do you think about using Osha Root (osha potieri).

I STILL want to send you a sample of my Fresh PREMIUM wheatgrass.

You still remain in the catagory of a horse that pulls a cart around Central Park. And around and around and around.

Still working for that MUTI-Billion $$$$ company?

You did not mention where you buy "your " true gogi berries.....?

Only that you have a new fancy juicer.

Here we go again......
ps.

When Sweet and dry Wheatgrass wine gets distributed in your area....

REMEMBER There are NO health claims whatsoever.....but being different is fun....right?

To the man with no shoes....to the man with no feet. Who know the man with no hands...who has a friend with no arms...who know someone who cannot hear, see , taste....or smell.

EXACT name of the little red rasins that I was referring to.

NINGXIA FRUTUS LYCII.

They are from CHINA.

Tell me about them. "Rocky"

Ningxia is a region in china,Frutus well this means a fruit.Lycii is botanically speaking generic,just like 99.9% of all the socalled goji berries.This is one of the most overhyped fruits on the market today.Its nutrient profile is good but not nearly as good as the marketing behind it.The vitamix blender isnt a juicer,besides juicing a dryed fruit would be fruitless/juicless.

Similar to parsley one of my favorite greens is good for enhancing digestion.Like most bitter herbs it relaxes smooth muscle tissues.Its history involves native american,hispanic tradition as well as chinese.It would be more cost effective to just eat parsley and its cousins found in local grocery stores.If you can get parsley root and all well thats just sweet.Hard to come buy here locally grown that is.Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine.Be wise be green be healthy,sprouts rule!

NOW...I am sure you are with Big Pharma.

Osha root is a EXPECTORANT....focusing on the lungs ..throat and glands.

Parsley is known for its diruretic properties......

Apples and oranges....

Thank you for the correction on the juicer/blender issue.

I'll be 60 next year....and working 7 days a week for 9 years...(I do not have a BOSS on this planet)....sometimes I do slip. It's called being human.

You are on my list of things like Food, medication...gas and health care...and extended warrenties.- Tell your BOSS I said hello.

Parsley ..INSTEAD of OSHA ROOT....rediculous.

Bet you have a bottle of Musinex....?-

I wasnt comparing osha root to parsley.Osha root is parsley,there are many forms of parsly.Hemlock parsley which grows wild just like Osha root looks very similar.Osha root is an endangered plant well on its way to extenction in the western USA.

Hemlock which can kill you in 3 seconds...grows 10,000 feet above sea level just like osha root.

In fact they grow right next to each other. Sometimes it is difficult to get osha root because the FIRES in the mountains burn right to the top of he mountain...so the people thAT GATHER the root must wait til the fires have burned out.......

NEVER give osha root to a pregnant woman...it is very hot..(Yang) and can harm or even kill the fetus.......

Also DO NOT go to the zoo with a piece in your pocket.

It is a afrodisiac For the MALE BEARS.....again pardon my spelling.


PLUS do not injest Osha Root and drink FRESH wheatgrass juice.....You will purge (puke your brains out)......BOTH try to cleanse the bodsy at the same time.

Many performers who sing or speak use it to strengthen there vocal cords....and remove flem and mucus...-

Also clears the lungs from colds and flu and smokers CONJESTION.

wILL TAKE AWAY A SOAR throat in mintues!-

Nativescents.net has a good supply in Tahos New Mexico

JJ43 ever burn Dragon's Blood! Or Sweet Grass..or Sage? or Copal?

Good to hear from you again.

ps. You may make a TEA...or just chew and injest the osha root....It is also smoked////an ingridient of Knick Kinick(American Indian smoking tobacco.

You truly are a simple man!First Im with big pharma,then a member of the parsley family isnt parsley.Then you jump around to something else,pregnant women shouldnt take medicinal herbs,dont carry to zoo?Whats with the fragmented thoughts twinged with what appears to be hostility?Or would you prefer to talk to yourself and ill bud out!Peace be with you kava anyone!

BUTT I do not patronize any one.....

You did not elaborate on the side effects of the osha root.....


Because yout are the Type of PERSON who would but the new NEXUS that automatically PARKS ITSELF.

I have my information from experience on the other hand.....

YOU sit on your girly ass and read books.... Talk is cheap actions speaks louder than words/////I grow 24/7 for 9 years....FRESH PREMIUM WHEATGRASS. And focus on HELPING other people. Good luck with your scientific garden. I'm sure you have PLENTY of manure to put into it.

While you use your snow blower to get to your Lexus. To kiss your blond bosses ass every morning.....What you do to pay your expenses is not my issue. I am just glad I do not have to wash YOUR underware.


Was Making fun of things to avoid showing your ignorance about using Osha root necessary?.....for the real people of this forum. You think I am an idiot to warn someone of the consequences.

I'll bet you ware ELAVATOR shoes. And take Viaqgra. I think to call me an idiot....you must be taking some kind of "modern" medication..? Or selling it..?

NOthing but the BEST for you! You are all knowing....and very wise.

gone fishing......Inverness.....Maybe Lake Toho

Eat FRESH and Stay GREEN and BE Healthy!

Lets see now side effects of osha root,I guess you mean the whole root extract in decoction form?Well it might overstimulate your womanlyness causing pre mature labor!Cause stones in your kidneys and make you photosensitive!Are there bears in florida,well you know more about that than I do!I love growing parsley,i grow sevaral varieties for eating and maintaining health and vitality.The energy derived from freshly blended parsley is amazing.From the 2 medicinal herbs that you have experiance medicating yourself with that you have posted about.One could guess that you have cardiovascular weakness.I hope I am wrong on that guess,drugs are drugs bioidentical pharmiceuticals or herbal pharmacopeia.I have no need for good drugs,only good food!

You will figure out what you "Want to be".

I still think you are working for BIG Pharma. Around and around with the BIG words.....

And always going back to the basic TRUE idea of eating well.

Then you crawl back into the shadows. And wait to rridicule basic herbal cures and remedies.......

Do you part YOU hair to the left...or to the right....or in the MIDDLE....?

The last person who came here has 7 brothers and sisters......fron the U.S. Virgin Islands......

His Mother was treated for Cancer for a few years.....She was sent home to die with NO HOPE(similar to your lifestyle JJ43).

He purchased a juicer(I give generous dicounts to needy people...but I am not in the position to give them away often). My DEMO juicer here is always for sale at a huge discount....and the 10 year warrenty still applies).

And I donated 7 pounds of FRESH wheatgrass(He said he had to drink it with his Mom to get her started). His mother just finshed Chemo ....so the detox feature of the FRESH wheatgrass will be uncomfortable for the first few days ...at least.

JJ43 ...WHAT in God's name have you done for anyone besides YOURSELF lately?

I really don't care......You are obnoxious. And really ignorant.....

But can read and write down fancy words......

ACTIONS always speak louder.

Make sure you put the gas preservative in your snow blower.

And re-uped your subscription to BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS!

I enjoyed writing to any person wh o trys to walk the LINE in the MIDDLE of the road.

I know who I am who I serve and where I am going but thats not the issue here.Big words are unavoiadable when speaking about certain subject matter.I enjoy studying the plants that I grow and consume as food.Im sorry if that bothers you,but I wil continue to study anyway.There are no cures only fools that chase them.The human body is a self regulating and self maintaining entity.To manipulate the balance with extreme measures has risks!Whether this manipulation comes from natural or bio-identical is irrelevent.Buyer beware is wisdom in its truest form.Only fools follow blindly without knowing what they are doing to themselfs.In the healing retreats there have been cases of phototoxic r eactions associated with buckwheat consumption.This toxic situation came about by juicing large quantities of buckwheat sprouts.This is the reason Dr. Anne Wigmore wrote "The Blending Book"maximizing natures nutrients.Some socalled healing gurues have made people sick do to the fact they didnt know better.They refered to the syptoms as a healing event which was rubbish.You may find it hard to believe but that kinda shit pisses me off!However with that being said,consuming buckwheat sprouts naturaly.Which is eating them,no cases of toxic reaction have been reported.Being obnoxious is one of my hobbies I love to share with you.Hugs and kisses!!

It is obvious to me by now....Tha you advocate the rememdies that Big Pharma and the FDA advocate. It more than likely keeeps YOUR company making the BILLIONS of $$$$ that they pull in every month!

If I thought that I could change the price of Gas>>>FOOD....Health care...and the rising cost of "Modern Medicine " I would tell you and everyone how I SEEN miricles from the Grass and Herbs FOUND for centuries on this planet.

I am a SIMPLE farmer. To avoid hearing the people who NEED FRESH wheatgrass for energyu is one thing.....

But the weekly people whop tell me they are sent home to die because they cannot PAY for the medication their "doctor" is prescribing.....or the remedies have taken their course....and cronic problem has made their body decrepit....and of course the "doctor does not want a patient of 2, 3, 4, or more years dragging themselves into their office...or worse dropping dead there....It gives a negative view of reality to the other patients that are paying off their schooling ($500,000.oo) isw a low estamate for what it cost to be able to get a lisense and "PRACTICE MEDICINE here in this country.

A doctor (M.D.) and his wife took me to a Ethiopian Resturant the other evening.

A invectious desease M.D. buys 2 bags of fresh wheatgrass every week or so....and most times stays and has lunch with me.

Another lady who is a foot surgeon visits and we talk often......

But the "doctors who sit and write perscriptions ALL DAY LONG....just so they can make perks with the BIG Pharma people ...and walk the walk and talk the talk about how they SAVE lives.....REALLY makes me laugh....

AND I AGREE with you....there are people on the NATURAL side of the Alternative field that patronize their clients just as much!

Good and BAD in everything on this planet.

I just got in 2,500 pounds of wheat seeds today....and am cutting a crop right now as I break to inform you that the televion...radio...magazines...ADVERTISE the medicines far too much as it is.....Plus the side effects are more than rediculous!

You do not have to pictch for them here on this Forum by saying that Cures do not exsist. Those kinds of statments are making YOU look more and more rediculous.

People who have done the drill and healed and/or cured themselvbes AFTER the doctor sent them home to suffer and told sometimes to die are also on this forum....LAUGHING at YOU! And contiueing their LIVES with their families and friend and loved ones.....

The FDA stated that a Italian scientist discovbed that ASPARATENE cause cancer!!! DA!

BUTT they are going to leave it in the 6,000 products exsisting in THIS COUNTRY!

I am sure you advocate that.....

After the Bovine Hormone and the antibiotics are admistered to the cattle that so many of the fast food people eat.....EVERYDAY.....is it a wonder that some medications just do not seem to work the way they are supposed to????

And after Kentuckey FRIED Chicken LOST their law suitand MILIIONS of $$$$.
Now ALL around the country.....Trans Fat FREE is popping up everywhere from burgers...fish
- ...chicken...and yes EVEN donuts. (a man ate a certain portion of the KFC almost every day...got cronic heart desease(blood clots...anerisms and Heart attachs kill more peopel in this country every day than CANCER ..and AUTO accidents) More people NOW are staring at the ingridients looking to see if the Partially Hydroginated oils are present in what they are eating and feeding their loved ones!

The one entree the man ate...have 7 times the aloted amount of trans fats for one WEEK....In one PORTION!

I am Happy that I "piss you off)!

Who in their right mind wants to reach the age of lets say 90.....and have some one wiping your butt and feeding you...turning lights on and off..etc..
Did this for my wife at the ripe old age of 59!

Or BEING ABLE to get in your car(my granfather drove until he was 92(a drunk ran a stop sign and they took away HIS lisense!). Visit your grandchildre...and yes go to the store and buy your own food.

Caring NOW!!!! What you eat. And HOW you treat everyday health problem...
IS kind of important!

Karma is important JJ43....

Remeber ...

When there are NO more TREES.....and No more EDIBLE fish.....

And a BOTTLE of potable water(although in a cheap plastic bottle) will cost$10,000.oo....BECAUSE you can drink it.

With the people YOU work for EAT their $100, $50 and $20 bills??

For BREKFAST >>LUNCH >>AND DINNER?????

I have to go and do what I do BEST....

Remember use the big words in your next adverse ...negative reply.....I may make a mistake in what or how I imply things occasionally....

But PLEASE let me know when I LIE TO YOU....or anybody...just to patronize and make the BIG BUCKS!!!!

I know that curly hair wants to be straight.....blue eyes want to have brown...and brown hair changes it to blond.....skinny peopel wish they could put on some pounds...and of course...heavy people want to shed a few...well maybe more than a few.


JUST BE HAPPY and thank GOD EVERYDAY....FOR YOUR BLESSINGS!

WE live in the BEST country in the WORLD....

If you do not have your HEALTH....you have Very little or NOTHING! (just my opinion)....(and that is what Ewheatgrass.com is ALL about....KNOWLEDGE IS POWER....

Eat fresh and STAY GREEN and BE Healthy.....and powerful!

It beat 1,580 other wines enterted in the International Wine Competion in Tampa Florida recently. Recived a BRONZE Metal (3rd place!)

I of course am growing the FRESH wheatgrasss that the wine is made 100% from.....

SO ...since you will not allow me to send you a sample of our PREMIUM wheatgrass....(I am adressing this to my PAL >>>JJ43)

I'll put you down for a FREE sample of the Sweet and dry versions.......

Let me guess????

You are a TEA drinking person.....or have gone through the 12 step program already.

Wrong!!!! You have NEVER done anything WRONG in your ENTIRE lifetime....

Still whish I could GLOW in the dark like you do! Keep up the Good work that you provide the general money spending public JJ43...but beware...

PEOPLE are waking up....going broke by spending too much on CRAP!

When you visit Florida next time....put in Florida wheatgrass....see what comes up. I KNOW you have a laptop!

First off allopathic medicine is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disease.I dont advocate allopathy and its disease managment protocals.The socalled big pharm is pharmasetuical companys and there research affiliates along with there special interests advocates on capital hill.I have no working affiliation with any of these entities.For you to suggest this is as foolish as most of your posts.Most of the food supply is tainted to some degree,thats not my fault.I dont consume animal products so bovine growth hormone isnt my problem.I have no desire to consume a fungal mycotoxin so ill pass on the wine.I didnt say you piss me off,I like your style!Crude and lacking knowledge but you speak your mind an mean well.Now if you could only understand my posts before you go on your colorfull rants.When I said there are no cures you spelled it out in your rant.If people eat KFC and drink milk which does a body harm and avoid fiber and clean water.Even grass juice wont save them from themselves.Its far easier to destroy health than rebuild it.There is no magical silver bullet in allopathy or alternative medicine.Seeing someones health return is not seeing a cure.Its seeing the self regulating and maintaining entity do its thing called living.And this is a thread about alfalfa sprouts that took a hard left turn towards florida.I have 2 easysprouters with alfalfa going as we speak.Along with mung bean and sweet green pea and 6 flats of black oil sunflower micro greens!Sprouts rule!!!

NOW...you have me believing that your frustration and mine are alike!

Remember that week after week someone comes to the nursery...or calls on the phone and asks..... So what does fresh wheatgrass do? Will it make a difference?

After the wife...with the total encouragement of her mother and sisters to go to the extreme with the "modern cancer teatments" sits now in a nursing home.....
becoming more decrept evreryday.....Not being able to do the bathroom or get anywhere without someone helping her. (I helped her here for 22 months).

The intonation of your last post has hit home.

In your case I HAVE been judgeing a book by it's cover.

Like yourself I keep an open mind....and my guard up constantly.....

)ne billion in cash today....OR NOT being able to get out of bed on Thursday ...all by myself.....

That is a no brainer.

Perhaps someday we will interface.....and exchange personal thoughts of living in Alfa correctly with an abudance of tolorance to personal opion.

Have a great fourth of July!

It is good to feel that YOU DO have 52 cards and 2 jokers in YOUR deck.

And I was telling YOU to eat FRESH!

Ohm Shante and my blessings
