“growing your own sprouts?”

Totally easy to grow. Get a good sprout unit and follow the directions, almost impossible to screw up. Before I started trying to grow food, I had sprouts as my backup fresh food for nutrients. Broccoli sprouts have the most food value and taste just fine. I have long term stored sprouting seed. A few seeds are poison, but if you buy sprouting seed from a grower, you won’t be getting those seeds. Don’t assume just any seed is a sprouting seed to eat.

I grew many different ones, and subjected my husband and me to the result and he didn’t complain, so that was a plus. Sprouts are a great salad full of the nutrients you need. There are many more nutrients in the sprout than in the plant. Nutrients are lost as the plant grows from the seed so you are eating the garbage remains when you eat the plant. :o) :o)
