Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Melody, Good for you. Next your can become a sprout guru and start giving lectures. ew Re: Sprouts bad? Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:31:16 -0000 I only use Organic seeds. I figure this way, I have a good shot at eating healthy and being safe. I love these sprouts in my salads. The colors are amazing and I imagine all this good stuff going into my body. My diabetes is better for it. And I'm losing weight. I even have my neighbors sprouting. Melody Jesus is the reason for the Season. Blessings to all. ernie -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 The growing of greens such as sunflower greens, buckwheat greens and the grasses of wheat and barley require a growing medium.The greens will need something to set root in and that is the reason for a growing medium.I have some pictures of my green sprouts in the photos section of this group.Greens are more labor intensive but well worth the effort.Jeff.

When I read that people sprout stuff in soil. I don't know anything about soil. I sprout in plastic jars, plastic bowls, anything I have in my kitchen, well I sprout in. I am thinking of buying those wide mouth mason jars and sprout in them, but I haven't been able to go to the hardware store yet. I even made my own lids (so I could rinse). I had all these wide mouth plastic jars in my house. One was a crystal light container. I cut the top so it was nice and wide. I put a mesh thing over it to drain the seeds. But for my tupperware bowls, I simply took the lids, took a clean fork (never to be used as a fork again after doing this). I put the fork in the gas and heated it up, and I poked holes all around the lids. So I actually made my own sprouter lid. I did this with 4 lids. So when it comes time to rinse and drain, I just pour the water in, swish around and then drain. It's so easy, I can't begin to tell you. So far all my seeds (all organic by the way) have sprouted beautifully. Except for the sunflower ones. They were no hulled. I don't know what to do with them. I should have bought hulled sunflower seeds. But I only lost $2.69 on that one. oh, someone asked me about how I make the patties. I just take whatever left over veggies I might have, then I go into the refrigerator where I have my bowls of sprouts. I take a handful of lentils, a handful of alfalfa, a handful of fenugreek, and I just add this to the left over veggies from the night before. Oh, I also grate some fresh carrots in the bowl. I add one egg and about a half cup of breadcrumbs. I make a mixture. I then form patties and put on a hot skillet. You should see the colors of these patties. And the taste?? Oh my goodness. If you are making a lot, then you just add more eggs (or egg substitute), and more breadcrumbs. Oh, do I need to use breadcrumbs. Or can I just use the ground up lentils as a binder instead. Anyone know? Thanks much. (I really want to know why some people sprout stuff in soil and some do what I do (the jars).
