April Tip

Spring has Sprung....so how about Sprouting?

Did you know that Sprouts are some of the healthiest foods on the Planet? That’s because you are literally eating LIVE food. This is great when it comes to food storage because you can take something you have stored that is dormant and rather bland, and produce a fresh food from it! Use them on salads, in sandwiches or just eat them by the handful...they are sweet and refreshing!

Here are some items you may have in your food storage that can be used:

Grains: Wheat, Barley, Oat Groats (unhulled), Rye, Quinoa, Rice (only BROWN)
Seeds: Sunflower, Pumpkin (green), Mustard, Radish, Almond, Sesame (unhulled)
Beans/Legumes: Chickpeas (garbanzo), Lentils, Kidney, Black-eyed peas, white, pinto, Peas (whole green or yellow), Alfalfa

Happy Sprouting!!
