If you enjoy eating sprouts in your salads or sandwiches, consider growing your own sprouts from seed using nothing more than a mason jar and a piece of screen material from a hardware store. You can buy seeds for sprouting online or use garden seeds as well.
Sprouts are full of nutrition. According to Chef Keith Snow at Harvest Eating:
Just a few ounces of sprouts per week can provide plenty of fiber, vitamin C and other minerals your body needs. Sprouts are terrific survival food as well. Because they take up so little space and only need moisture and a little time, many people store sprout kits to be prepared for a long term power outage or other potential food shortages.
Another advantage of sprouts is that you can make them in the dead of winter to have fresh veggies at any time. Using the instructions in the video above, you can grow fresh sprouts from seed in about four days, rinsing the seeds twice daily.
