Sprouts

I apologize for the lateness of this post. I am sick with a nasty cold and have been watching hours upon hours of television, which will, I am now aware, zap the life right out of anyone, but especially someone with the rhino-bug or whatever this cold thing is I have going on. Blech! Anyways, I was just thinking about Foodland Ontario and the range of foods that they are still able to get to us – even in February and sprouts popped into my noggin. Yes, that very exotic looking little bean sprout is available in just about any grocery store all year round and for the most part they are from Ontario. Just look for the little green Foodland Ontario logo. This got me thinking about a blogger girl who had this post on growing your own sprouts which I have been unable to find again, I have lost the link – but I wanted to share this crazy couple and their video that they made on growing sprouts. They are a bit wacky but in a super endearing way. In the video they grow their sprouts from lentils, but you can grow them from all kinds of things like different bean varieties, barley and even sunflower seeds. Enjoy!
