It's earnest, worthy and very very handy. Written from the heart with a lot of very simple and easy to follow advice and charts on sprouts, how to grow them, and what they are good for. Plus some interesting recipes! If you want to know about sprouts, Edward is your man, it's the perfect guide, and you don't have to wade through pages of wiffle, he gets to the point. Splendid!

I always thought of beansprouts as something you got in Chinese cooking but this book has really opened my eyes to their true potential. I've always suspected that there was more to nutrition and good eating than can be judged purely by chemical analysis alone. The Sprouters Handbook by Edward Cairney has made me aware of the possibility that this may indeed be the case. The book is concise, to the point and written in easy to understand language. The chapter on plant enzymes is particularly interesting as it explains why these essential nutrients, apparently almost totally absent in everyday food but abundant in raw beansprouts, are so vitally important to our health. Beansprouts and Wheatgrass seem to be of a similar vain and there do seem to be books available on one or the other but The Sprouters Handbook seems to be the only one on the market wich covers both in the same book. I found the book very readable and considering the amount of information packed into such a small book, very good value for money. David Bellamy has written a great forward in his typical animated style wich is a masterpiece in itself. As a former pill popper, i can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in trading in the pill bottle for the real thing.

I purchased this book and felt that the information on the nutritional values of the sprouts was good. However, when it came to following the guidelines of sprouting and growing wheat grass, I just felt that it did not go into enaugh detail and was not quite as methodical as I would have liked, which would have made it easier for a beginner like me to follow the procedures. I have managed to grow these items, but did so with a little more research into each stage of germination and sewing the seeds.
