Hubby and I went to see the grandkids for Mother’s Day and it cracked him up that I brought my jar of seedlings along so they wouldn’t miss their evening shower. You gotta do what you gotta do, right?
Btw, I was pleasantly surprised at how perfectly secure the jar wedged under the center console👍
I'm curious where people shop for sprouting seeds. I'm in California and I noticed seeds aren't sold in grocery stores. Years ago I used to make a run to the local Fresh Foods for probably about a 1/4 lb from their bulk section. I unfortunately bought some off Amazon that were around $11.00/lb (broccoli, alfalfa, etc.) and then from Sun Organic Farms in 3lb & 10 lb quantities. I'm just wondering where people purchase larger amounts of sprouting seeds and how much you generally pay.
Today’s Sprout 🌱 Stack! Sourdough toast with avocado, sprout mix (salad, radish and broccoli) with Cilantro Mint Chutney (homemade, easy and good) and egg.
I just started sprouting and love the sprouts but not the amount of time I put in at harvest time. It’s just so fiddly trying to save each tiny sprout while getting rid of most of the seeds and hulls. The hard part is that I’m trying not to let any seeds go down the drain for fear of ruining the pipes. Is that really necessary? How do you deal with seeds going down the sink?
My Weekly pull….No Mason Jars. Lots of passive air flow. No problems😉
First time sprouting mung beans. Do they look all right? Did I let them go too long?
I understand most people grow mung beans in trays or colanders. I’d instead used 1/3 cup mung beans in a 2-quart mason jar. Rinsed three times a day for four days. Kept in indirect light. Excellent germination, but it seems most people don’t use jars to sprout mung beans. What’s your favorite method?
I got a little sprout kit given to me as a gift. I read up on it a little and gave it a try. I'm on day five and am giving them some nice sunlight and wow they're really popping! I can't wait to try other varieties.
Pic 2 is after exposure to light fir a few hours. I wonder whether I should keep going to the microgreens stage. I couldn't resust and cooked half of my harvest - it was very good. Though I'm ready to explore more options. Please share your suggestions 🌱🙏
Is this mold or is this normal? It seems to be part of the sprout? This is my first time so please be kind.
Second try at this and now I have to eat only sprouts for a couple days
Excited for my first protein mix! I made one small mistake in not soaking in enough water on the first day. It takes a lot more water than other sprouts. 🌱
Or should I give them a little more time in their container?
I tried simply holding it under flowing water, but immersing and draining feels kind of better. Your experience? Please share your opinion
