We like to grow sprouts, we like to eat sprouts. You can sprout so many different seeds that offer distinct flavours and use them in so many dishes. Sprouts are quick to grow and are very nutritious.

You don’t need fancy equipment, just a way in which to rinse the sprouts during the process. We happen to have a 4 tray sprouter, but a wide mouth mason jar and cheesecloth works just as well. Seeds to be sprouted can be purchased at health food stores and most garden centres should have them, as well.

So how do we use sprouts? We add them to the following dishes/beverages:

• smoothies
• after we’ve juiced some vegetables
• as a salad topper
• soups
• stir fry dinners
• sandwiches (for a slight crunch and taste)
• veggie dips

Our favorite seeds to sprout include:

• alfalfa – so nutritious, I add them to smoothies!
• radish – just a hint of spice!
• mung bean – use these bean sprouts in salads and stir fry!
• red clover seeds – contains vitamin A & C and delicious in salads
• lentil – contains folic acid, vitamin E & C. Great in soups and salads
