Growing sprouts, microgreens and wheatgrass, de-mystified!

This is a truly wonderful video by the Chicago Botanic Garden, showing just how easy it is to grow incredibly nutritious greens at home. I get so bogged down in the apparent complexities advanced by websites that have something to sell that I end up too confused to even try.

Yay for the inherent simplicity that is life on Mother Earth!

I have a jar of alfalfa sprouts growing at home right now, on day 3 and doing great!

Sprout Success!!!

My sprouts were a wonderful success! We ate them with dinner and they were so much better than any sprouts I have ever bought at the store. I'm a proud sprouter! Below, the pictorial story of our sprouty evening...apologies for the poor photo quality, I used my cell phone :)

Living foods are happy foods!

Sprouts will be ready tonight! Finally got to resume sprouting at home...it's so much fun! I'm using Sproutman's hemp sprouting bags - they are wonderfully easy to use! I had a lot of trouble sprouting in jars last year at J's apartment - all my batches rotted early on, probably because it was hot and stuffy in the apartment (Houston summers!). As it is now winter the jars would probably be fine, but I purchased the hemp bags last year and had not gotten to try them yet. I give them a big thumbs-up! My first two sprout batches are alfalfa and clover. They are beautiful! I also soaked almonds last night and will make a batch of almond milk after work tonight. And last night J. and I made a big batch of Living Hemp Dip, with avocado, broccoli, tomato and naan for dipping. So good! I LOVE getting back to working with living foods in my new lovely home. I'm a very happy girl. :)
