The Sustainable Backyard


I am so excited to report that my second attempt at sprouting was very successful! This time, I only sprouted in one level and used Organic Sandwich Booster Sprout Mix from Gardens Alive. We love Gardens Alive because they very often have a $25 coupon available or have fantastic monthly specials. I originally purchased my sprouter when it was a monthly special.  Anyhow, the sprout mix contains clover, alfalfa, radish and canola sprout seeds. This first taste had a bit of a “twang” but I feel that maybe they were not quite finished at that time. Maturity is 3-6 days.

These were wonderful in our salad, but I did add them to a couple of sandwiches as well. I am anxious to hear DH’s report back from his lunch that I made today. I spread a light amount of the sprouts in his turkey sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. I am always looking for ways to slip in  more veggies to our meals.

There was a pretty decent “harvest” from the small amount of seeds that I sprouted this time. I just need to research how to store them, but for now I have them in a sealed ziploc with a damp piece of paper towel.

I already have some more alfalfa sprout seeds soaking for the start of a new batch tomorrow.
