Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

a question for someone who knows nutrition. most bean sprouts are very high in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. I know that these values go down a bit when they are cooked but how about if they are dried/dehydrated. My assumption is that the values will increase since a large % of water is the only thing missing. any thoughts???


Thanks

You could near on think that lupins are very similar to beans...couldn't you?

yes any seed that is sprouted gains an enormous amount of nutrition. However there are some seeds that are toxic when sprouted so be cautious. I truly believe that if you had a variety of sprouts for food the fish would do just fine. only thing lacking is a fat source which can be added quite easily.

Not is your growing Barra or trout though... Damn carnivores..

To bad you Aussies cant reap the benifits of the tilapia... they will eat anything you throw in.
