For Real?

You are probably wondering what this is! We have just found out about the world of sprouts! Justin's parents have been doing this for awhile and we just got us a sprout tray and sprouts. It's kind of fun to see them grow. It's like having a garden inside your kitchen. We have loved adding the sprouts to our meals and even the kids like them.


Here is the first day of sprouts in the tray. We have alfalfa on the left and protein (something) on the right.
This is after 1 1/2 days of being in the tray.


This is the underside of the tray. The kids think this is pretty neat! Not too impressive in a pic but you get the idea.


Ready to eat after just 2 days. They give a nice crunch to some already great meals! You'll have to try them sometime. These are much better than the store bought kind!

Sprouts are great to put on just about anything! Our favorite thing to put them on is salad and sandwiches. They aren't bad on top of a baked potato too. My girls like to eat them plain. They say that if you've got these in your food storage that you'll be set. They have tons of protein and nutrients that help keep you healthy. I'm loving them!
