Our sprouts were finally ready yesterday. The girls were so excited to eat them! I gave them a few final rinses and then set them out on a plate to dry for most of the day before they went in the refrigerator. I also dried them with a paper towel a bit so that they wouldn't get moldy. I was surprised that we got so many sprouts, my little jar was stuffed full. We had them in a tortilla wrap with meat and cheese for lunch and then on a salad for dinner. There are plenty left over if anyone wants to come over and have a sprout sandwich. ;)
If you're still not convinced, here is a link to the specific nutrients in different types of sprouts. My little alfalfa sprouts have vitamins A, B, C, E, K, minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, as much carotene as carrots, chlorophyl, and protein!
YAY for sprouts! YUMMO (although my boys, well except Daven, would NEVER eat them)now back to reading your blog
ReplyDelete:) You might be surprised! Lucy and Julia helped me with growing the sprouts and were excited to eat them, mostly because they saw the whole process. You could hardly taste them in the tortilla wrap, I bet you could find something to hide them in!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that it didn't take long to grow those. I think I may have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteWOW I did not know they had so many nutrients! That's awesome!
