If you live in a warmer climate such as Arizona, California,
Hawaii and Florida then you might still be growing. You might even be
growing cool weather crops such as Kale, Arugula, Swiss Chard , Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli and Cabbage. If your area is COLD or snowy at the moment then you might try growing SPROUTS in winter! Do you eat Sprouts? Do you grow your own sprouts? SPROUTS grown in a jar do not require dirt or sun, Just Water!!! It's SO EASY! I have been growing/eating sprouts for a while. I sprout "cat grass" which is actually wheat grass, for our 2 cats and they LOVE it. I sprout Mung Beans, Broccoli and Alfalfa for sandwiches & salads.

Save Money and Sprout Your Own!
|
Sprouts are nutrient dense and take up almost no space. If you
want fresh GREENS without having to grow a garden, sprouts are the way
to go.
Do you know that a small bag of Mung Beans sprouts (organic) at my local grocery store costs almost $8? That's ridiculous!
When I sprout 1/3 cup of Mung Beans I usually get about 3 cups (or more) of sprouts after 5-6 days!!!
Most important, by growing your own you are in control of
your food. You can decide when to grow, how much to grow and grow
them organically.
Each cup, or 104 g serving, of sprouted raw mung beans provides approx 155 mg potassium.
Each
1-cup serving of raw mung bean sprouts provides 14 mg vitamin C, or
nearly one quarter of the daily value for vitamin C. Vitamin C is an
antioxidant vitamin that is essential for proper immune function and
wound healing. Another benefit of mung bean sprouts is their 60 mcg
folic acid, or 15 percent of the daily value for this B vitamin, which
is an especially important nutrient for women who may become pregnant,
because it reduces the risk for neural tube birth defects. Continue Reading

BROCCOLI SPROUTS!!!
If you are interested in purchasing larger quantities of organic sprouting seeds please send us an email
"Eating broccoli sprouts may be
able to protect people from cancer, according to scientists from Johns
Hopkins. The Maryland-based researchers found that young broccoli
sprouts contain a substance called sulforaphane in concentrated amounts.
Sulforaphane helps the body fight cancer, and may prevent certain
cancers from developing. Researchers call this phenomenon
chemoprotection.
Asthma sufferers may benefit from a
daily dose of broccoli sprouts, as studies have shown a decrease in
inflammation of the airways after eating the vegetable. A study reported
in the March 2009 issue of Clinical Immunology reports that
sulforaphane, the same compound that can prevent and fight cancer,
reduced inflammation associated with asthma and nasal allergies. In
addition to broccoli sprouts, sulforaphane is naturally occurring in
cauliflower, mature broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage."
This one quart sprouting jar is everything you need to learn the basic aspects of sprouting. A perfect way to get started. Grow your own sprouts for a delicious and nutritious meal or snack for just pennies!!! Includes SEEDS! Mary's
Sprouting Kits make great gift ideas for all ages. Sprouting is simple
and easy. Sprouts can be grown in as few as 24 hours and up to 6 days.
These dried green peas have a great germination rate and make delicious, crunchy and mildly sweet sprouts. A great addition to salads. Peas can also be used in soups and other recipes.
