Hey .

Glad you are enjoying the sprout patties.

Sproutingly, Melody

enjoy them. I just feel bad I cant chim in as often as I would like!

has thought of this.

> and I had to go to another town to see our Dr.'s and while we was there

we checked out some other health food stores to see what we could find

sprout/seed wise. Well afterwards I was hungry so we stoped at a restaurant that

I had been wanting to try(the only time we ever get to go out to eat) It was

Japanese. While eating an eggroll, it dawned on me that I could prolly get the

same flavor but be much more healthy if I grew the sprouts to make the egg roll

instead of shredding the full grown veggies. Most egg rolls are made from

cabbage carrot garlic onion and a few other spices + meat, So Im thinking make a

healthier version with sprouts and no meat. Has anyone else tried this before

and what did you think.

> Melody, we have started eating sprout patties and have fallen in love with

them. At first the 1st batch right outta the pan we didnt care for to much, so

we put them in the frig. well the next day I got them out determined I was going

to try them one more time before writting them off. Well I let them crisp up and

took a bite, hubby did as well. Next thing we new they was all gone and we was

wanting more...lol So now that had become something that we make alot of the

past week!

>

> We now have sunnies, peas and corn sprouting along with our normal sprouts.

Found a great deal on some seeds in the other town and so we are having fun.

Still looking for some cabbage sprouts So I can try the the egg roll ordeal.

>

> Our local walmart was having a clearance on a few of there organic veggie

seeds a couple weeks back, so we picked up a few packages. Got some onion,

carrot and celery to try, well although they didnt have much in them, wow does

the onion pack a punch! Tiny but full of onioney flavor and the carrot was

mild, celery was a strong taste of Celery as well So we will be looking to get

some of these as well. I agree the onion is expensive, but it doesnt take as

much and your not going to eat just a onion sprout salad so they will go much

further so an investment on them will last a while.

>

> I read the deal about the buckwheat and got worried cause I am making that

granola that I posted about. But Im not too worried anymore cause most of what I

have read and done with them only lets them sprout a tiny tale if that, so there

not greened up. More like soaks then a sprout. But will keep an eye out. We live

at a High elevation of over 7thousand feet, so the while the temps only average

in the 90's and maybe a day or 2 in the hundreds per year, the intensity of the

sun is a different scenario. It is very intense and you can " BURN " within

minutes so I will keep an eye out, but not to stressed over it!

Some spring rolls or egg rolls have noodles in them, like the celophane ones and

some might  have low mein.  You can use mushrooms in small slices to

substitute for meat.  I like bok choy so I think I'd use that even with othr

sprouts.    Good luck on that and when you have a good mixture, let us know.

 

Here is one you might like, listed below.  I also found a quinoa stuffed

tomato.  That sounded interesting too and they said it was good.  If you want

it, let me know and I'll paste it in here.

Summer Sauté

Seves 6

Quick cooking is the secret to this side dish's super-fresh taste. Serve it warm

or room temperature, and use leftovers in omelets or add to a marinara sauce for

pasta.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

5 cloves garlic, sliced

2 yellow squash, halved and sliced into half-moons

1 zucchini, halved and sliced into half-moons

1 cup halved red grape tomatoes

1 cup halved yellow grape tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

Method

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook,

stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add yellow squash,

zucchini, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables

begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the red and yellow tomatoes and

continue cooking just until vegetables are tender and begin to release their

liquid, about 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the oregano.

- which begs the question, why do we need to buy specifically " sprouting

seeds " vs. regular seeds? I've noticed in many cases there are varieties much

more readily available as organic garden seeds than as organic sprouting seeds.

For some varieties there are only one or two (or no) sources available on

internet, but regular organic varieties are available from garden seed

suppliers. I do remember somewhere reading an explanation, but don't remember

what it was and couldn't find anything with a quick search. Are all you seeds

still doing OK?

normaly was like $3 dollars a pack but was on sale for 20. cents a pck so I

figured what the heck, only got about 50 seeds in them but they do pack a big

punch for flavor!

That's too bad...but thanks for clarifying the situation. There are so many

gardening seed companies!!
