Home made sprouts
Trying to integrate environmental concern into your personal life can translate into big changes, disappointments, or tiny successes. In the latter catergory I’d like to one of my latest experiments, which I consider quite succesfull. This is especially nice for people who’d like to grow their own food, but don’t have a garden. All you need for this is a window.
My subject today is the sproutmix. Sprouts are considered to be very healthy, I don’t know exactly why, but it feels like it makes sense! I bought my sproutmix in the organic shop, but you can also get the seeds in other places. You can use alfalfaseeds, lentils or fenegriek. This is how you do:
Take a clean, big glass jar. Put in one spoon of your sproutmix. Soak for 6 hours. Then throw away the water and put a small (plastic) net over the jar with a rubber. Put the jar upside down on a smal dish, or at least something that will prevent water dripping all over your window ledge. Flush with clean water, 2-3 times a day. After 5 days your sprouts are ready to eat!
I think they’re delicious and it’s fun to see your seeds become small plants!
