Your sprouts are beautiful! I used to sprout alfalfa and mung beans. About a year ago, I got some seeds to sprout, but I gave up after a couple tries, because they spoiled after a couple days, even though I did a good job rinsing them. I thought maybe the seeds I had had salmonella on them. Seeing yours makes me want to try again. I'll have to check on that company you put the link for.

One of these days, I am going to sprout some mung bean seeds. Home made seeds are definitely more healthy and nutritious. This is great idea.

Wendy,
there you go, sprouting off again. :)

I haven't grown sprouts this year, although I have some old seeds tucked away in a cannister in the kitchen. I wonder if they will still sprout? I think it's great ro grow your own, you never know what's on those at the store and how long they have actually been sitting there. Yum!

Thanks for the healthful and yummy reminder.

Hugs,
Rosey

That's a great idea and soooo easy.

Deborah, true about eating fresh. It's so fast to grow your own - practically the same timeframe as making a shopping list, getting to the store...

Julie - less fancy than this?! I think I can imagine how the jar and pantyhose goes...you should put it on your blog when you get a chance!

Avis - I'll check it out - thanks!! My husband talked to some guy 100 year old farmer at a watermelon stand on the side of the road in Florida. He describe the perfect watermelon and the guy said he was describing a black diamond. I'll head over and see what else you would suggest!

Stephanie - your recipe sounds wonderful!

Great post! My method is far less fancy than yours, involving a mason jar and panty hose. LOL Lots of great sprouting seeds are usually available at health food stores. Yours look very tasty. :-)

What a cool idea, Wendy. They really are best when very fresh, and seem to spoil very fast.

Wendy, this sounds easy for you. But I think it should ok for me to try too. I'll watch out for these seeds. I like to just stir fry lightly with garden and chilly. Add some white pepper and soya sauce... yum yum. Btw, I never knew you guys takes bean sprout also he he...

Wendy, that's amazing and it seems very simple! I'd love to do bean sprouts, because whenever I purchase them for use in stir fry some always wind up spoiling. This way you could grow small amounts that are just enough for your weekly use at a time. Cheers! (Oh, I named a couple of watermelons for you to check out online in my response to your comment on my blog.)
