Sprouts

[Marthe48]

I bought a couple packs of hot micro green seeds. They are meant to plant in dirt, but I experimented and used my sprout jar and grew them like sprout seeds. They took a few more days, but there is a nice batch ready today.

I forgot to use a fork to keep them from clumping, but no harm done. I have 1 more pack and will keep them better separated. This time of year, when salad greens are costy, I like growing sprouts. Adds some variety to my meals

1. I love these kind of sprouts.

Radish sprouts are great too. But, I absolutely despise alfalfa sprouts. They taste like dirt.

2. My daughter got me set up about 2 years ago

She got me some different blends of sprout seeds. Radish, mustard, alfalfa, and maybe another seed. But even with the hot seeds, I don't taste much of a kick. Love the crunch.

3. some grocery stores carry packages of mung beans. They're found

in the area with the other beans or in the bulk food section. I like to sprout my own and use in stir frys and salads. I use a quart sized mason jar with the metal band securing a square of screen over the opening. Rinse and drain every day, and in a few days you'll have fresh sprouts for your cooking.

4. Thanks

I've been growing sprouts for over 2 years. My daughter got me a jar, a set of screens, and seeds. The micro-green seeds were an experiment I got 2 packs of seeds at Dollar.25 Tree, figured it was worth a try .
