This was one of my favorite parts of the Emergency Preparedness fair, the sprout lady! (Beverly Johnson). She is great! Did you know you need to know how to "sprout?" I didn't! Not only is it healthy for you to eat on a regular basis, but in an emergency, or if you are having to live strictly on your food storage for whatever reason, you will need a quick way to grow "greens". How do you do that? You sprout them in your kitchen in 3-5 days! This was all news to me. I am sprouting some alfalfa right now, I will post more on that later. Monday, March 14, 2011

P.S. I love alfalfa sprouts. I always hate it when I am pregnant because they say I can't eat them. Pooey on all the no no's. (Deli meat is the real killer for me to stay away from.) Anyway, I learned that Broccoli sprouts are WAY healthy for you. So I am trying to find some seeds. Got any suggestions? I can find lots of alfalfa, but not broccoli. They get pretty pricey buying packets of seeds at the hardware store. :)
ReplyDelete(sorry, i just saw this!) I will keep an eye out for broccoli seeds! I know there are some places online that sell seeds for sprouting but I don't know how pricey they are. And weird about no sprouts during pregnancy!
