grow in your
kitchen...or outdoors...or pick the wild edibles such as
dandelions.
(Dandlions have more vitamin C than
lettuce).
Note: Eat only those wild edibles that are 100%
identifiable by you.
To grow sprouts in your
kitchen:
Needed:
1. A plastic
container, such as an empty parmesean cheese container.
Save the lid.
2. A screen, such
as a square cut (about 6 X 6 inches) of plastic screening
from the hardware store.
3. A rubber band to
hold the screen on the top.
4. The seeds. Wheat
berries or Red Clover seed are good in your salads. Many
others can be used.
Directions:
1. Place the seeds
- about 1 teaspoon (red clover) or 2 Tablespoons (wheat)
in the container. Fill with water. Cover with screen and
use rubber band to hold in place. Soak over night.
2. The next
morning, drain out the water, rinse seeds, and drain out
the water.
3. Place container
upside down on sink or in drain board. 'stand' the upside
down container on the open lid (open let's the water
drain out into the sink.)
4. The next morning
repeat. Repeat rinse and drain until the sprouts have
greened up and are ready to use.
Note: For wheat sprouts,
use a piece of plastic screening cut to fit a large dinner plate.
When the wheat has sprouted, spread the sprouts on the screen.
Water each day by passing screen through running faucet water.
Drain & return to plate until wheat grass is 3-4 inches tall.
Cut with sissors. Use in salads. Enjoy.
