Sprouting Greens Indoors

If you're like me then you probably try to eat salad most days. I live 40 minutes from the nearest grocery store and am always running out of organic lettuce at the worst times! This is why I LOVE growing my own, but with Winter just around the corner we need to switch it up a bit. Enter SPROUTS! They are more nutritious and even more delicious than many standard lettuce varieties. They are inexpenisve, grow right in your kitchen without any special lighting, without dirt (read-NO MESS), and they're ready in about 3-7 days. Everyone in the family can be responsible for growing their own and it becomes a great way to get the kids excited about eating something GOOD for them! (The seeds are even easy to store if you are concerned about the rumors of an upcoming famine!) You can order seeds on Amazon or for a little less on independent sites like this one. Some favorites are alfalfa, radish, broccoli, sunflower and even popcorn! Get creative and have fun!
