We can’t find any kinds of sprouts in our grocery stores any more. The big supermarket chains here seem to have stopped carrying them after one of the big salmonella scares.

But growing one’s own isn’t difficult.

Correct.

Just be careful to clean your growing medium afterward.

Of course this should be the case with anything that has to do with food so people should know that but I no longer assume that common sense will be applied.

People have some really odd gaps in their knowledge.

That’s my main concern. I’ve eaten sprouts some years ago and I liked them. Now, I’m immunocompromised and will avoid them if I see them.
