| Trying to get more info on sprouting seeds. I do know how to get them going. I do know they are loaded with vitamins and nutrients. Just looking for more info like where to buy and types of seeds to sprout. |
|
Lots of info here, how they taste etc ––> http://sproutpeople.org/ |
|
Alfafa is the most common, followed by Mung Bean. Health food fans sprout wheat, I like soybeans (but lightly cooked and seasoned with garlic.) There is a reason to cook soybeans, they have somethign that blocks vitamin uptake other wise.
Alfafa is usually eaten raw on sandwitches and salids, mung bean is commonly cooked. |

I've gotten stuff from there. Good stuff, everything sprouts (no duds). The sample packs are good for trying stuff out. I like the bean mixes, they taste really good. The seeds store well too, I actually had some that were about 10 years old (forgotten at the back of a cupboard and just in zip baggies) and they still sprouted just fine. I really like sprouts and I eat tons, so this year I got this: http://www.easygreen.com/ It works really well, I just fill it up with water and seeds once a day. Watering sprouts three times a day got really old. The trays are much easier to clean than the ones with holes as well. |
