Guest guest Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's been kind of quiet here recently. I'd be really interested in seeing what sprouts are regularly grown and how they are used. I'm trying to use up some sprout samples from just getting started, and have a tray of sunflowers, one of broccoli microgreens, and one of arugula/cress (since they are muciloginous). Also small fenugreek and a clover/mustard batch in a SproutGarden. I'm also just putting together a small grow light station after reading on here about small leaves due to insufficient light. That was true of my previous broccoli microgreens. They germinated/grew very well but were more nanogreens than microgreens. It will be an experiment.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Dona, I gave a talk yesterday and brought sprouts for sampling: Broccoli, fenugreek, lentil, mung bean, French Garden, pea shoots, sunflower sprouts and sunflower soaks. This is just a small list of all that I sprout. Check at sproutpeople.org for a larger list. Mostly my sprouts go into salads, but I also graze a lot. I make Egg Foo Young about once a month with mung beans. Also, in fall and winter months, I do a dry bean soak and make chili or bean soup. ew What's Sprouting It's been kind of quiet here recently.
