I have to
say,
My science teacher is one of the most inpiring
people I've ever met.
She
really knows how to make the most boring topic or school subject into something
fantastically fascinating...
And besides
that, I allready had the intrest of cultivating (one half of my closest
ancestors were farmers, so, yeah...)
Anyway,
since early this spring I've been cultivating some of my own crops, or sprouts
really. They are great on a sandwich, to a salad or why not make a smoothie of
them?
This sort
in particular is called Alfalfa and is really easy to cultivate yourself. They
grow fast and doesnt need a lot of your time or gardeners skills, but still they
contain more protein and fiber and eight times more vitamin C than ordernary
salad. They also contain a substance called phytoestrogens, which is said to prevent breast and
prostate cancer.
My seeds
are bought in a health-store, but I guess you might find them at an ordenary
farmacy, grocery store or maybe at some flower shops as well.
You soak
the seeds over a night before “planting” them. If you havent tried or tasted
this before you could start by soaking 2 msk (1
fluid ounce).
Why I
wrote “planting” is because you don’t really put them in the soil, instead you
just keep them in a can with a ventilating cloth over the opening.
Then, to
keep your sprouts in top condition during the whole growing process, you should
rinse them at least a couple of times a day. The sprouts also like to be kept
in the dark.
Try it! You
won’t regret it!
Easy, tasty
and healthy!
Peace
