Re: I actually sprouted Flax

[Guest guest]

Yes, think chia pet...but don't use the seeds that come with a chia pet, or use

the clay pot thingy to grow them...the seeds have growth enhancers, and the clay

pot thingy contains lead...otherwise, organic chia makes beautiful greens!

Well, I don't have any terra cotta plates, and I did the Flax seeds in coir, so

I'm going to try and sprout the Chia seeds the same way. I'll do a small tray

first just to see how long this takes. It took the Flax seeds about 2 weeks to

get that high. I'm in no rush. And they are so pretty when harvested. MUCH

heartier than the brassicas.

.

Today I will put up a batch of Chia.

We shall see. And if and when they start sprouting, I'll show you.

Oh, this is so exciting. And the fact that I can put all of my greening trays in

the living room to catch the sun, and the rest of my round green Sprout Garden

Trays in the kitchen, well it makes things SO much easier.

Now here's a question. Since sunnies and pea shoots need lots of sun, what

happens on a day such as today, with NO SUN, no light no nothing.

It's a dreary, rainy day. My trays are still uncovered in the book shelf in the

living room. I can just leave them where they are and hope the sun comes out

tomorrow or whenever. I still water them every day right?

Thanks, Melody

Yeah, I'd like to know that to. I wonder what I would use frozen sprouted flax

for? The darn seed takes SO long to sprout, I don't think I'd have any left

over to freeze. lol

You can make some wonderful energy bars by blending your sprouts with a bit of

very thick greek style yogurt, a little raw honey or agave nectar, some cocoa

powder, and the pulp left over from juicing, if you juice-if not, just add some

nuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, dried fruit, or whatever. Mash it all up with a

fork (should be VERY thick and stiff) Then, roll up the mix in a bit of

parchment paper, like the " slice and bake " cookies are rolled. Freeze for an

hour or so, until firm enough to slice in to rounds. You can then freeze the

individual rounds, or dehydrate THOSE for a crunchy type bar-they are good dried

or chewy. I keep them in the freezer (not dehydrated ones) and toss them in my

purse when I head out-by the time I want one, they have defrosted to just the

right consistency. You can throw anything in them-berries, grains, ground

ginger, etc. Yummy!
