Sage: Thanks for the suggestion. I haven’t had tuna salad in, perhaps, decades, but I never thought to add sprouts to a chicken salad sandwich… or why not even sprinkle them on a plate of chicken salad and eat it “straight up?” Hm…

I eat sprouts with some Italian dressing on them and that’s it. Somehow they taste amazing that way. I also like them in sushi and pitas. But Italian dressing is the best. Hope that helps.

Around here the current craze at the farmer’s market is sprouted sunflower seeds. I have yet to try them, but I understand they’re tasty in sandwiches and soups. My favorite sprouts are mung beans in stir-fries, springrolls, sushi and salads.

A wonderful article…. this is just what I needed to read today. Thanks for describing the way you work and how you structure your writing projects. I’ll go read that article now.

When you plant alfalfa seeds in a growing medium, you face two typical choices:

1. Harvest them when they’re and inch or two tall by snipping them off with scissors at the soil line (they should have only their original leaves, all greened up). Then use use them in your cooking.

2. Let them grow to maturity and feed them to livestock – alfalfa is popular with grazing animals; it’s a common component of hay.

I vote you go with #1. For an overwhelming amount of information about how to use these very young plants, Google the topic “micro greens” and pick through some of the web sites you discover. At some point, I’ll explore micro greens in this blog, but probably not until next winter after I’ve put my macro greens garden to bed.

I’ve tried to grow the seeds in a small pot of soil and they do grow beautifully, but how should I use them???

Thanks for visiting! It’s a shame you can’t find the foods you want locally; I’m glad you were able to find what you wanted elsewhere.

If your water is safe to drink, your seeds and sprouts will live happily in it. Actually, they’ll live in water that would make you sick… but, of course, if you use bad water to grow sprouts, you’ll consume the bad stuff along with your sprouts. So: to rinse and soak seeds and sprouts, use only water that you’d drink willingly!

I love alfalfa sprouts with all of my salads and sandwiches. I haven’t seen any alfalfa sprouts for sale in my area for a longtime and decided to search (to no avail) for alfalfa sprouts – or the seeds to grow said sprouts. I went to all the health-food stores and nurseries and had no luck. I ended up going through Amazon to get everything to grow them – but I now have a question for the experienced sprout growers: I live in Yonkers and I have chlorinated/flueronated (sp?) tap-water – do I use bottled water for soaking/rinsing or may I use tap water? I thank you in advance for your answers.

Sprouts in pancakes? Why not? Got to admit, though, it never would have occurred to me. Thanks for the suggestion.
