Last year tried sprouting radish seeds (certified for sprouting) but had a hard time deciding if they were getting moldy or just developing root hairs. Finally gave up on the project and grew radishes in the cold frame instead. BTW, there's a good Indian dish from Maharashtra that uses mung beans just barely sprouted - not at all as large as the ones used in East Asian cooking.

On the second morning (this morning), there are already little shoots sticking out of most of the seeds... I'll be posting a photo and an update before I go to bed tonight. This winter may turn me into a sprout addict. Ray: Sounds great. From what I've read, people use sprouts in just about every dish imaginable. As an egg enthusiast (and possibly, a future caretaker of garden chickens), I like this egg-and-sprouts idea! Robin: So far, growing sprouts has been amazingly satisfying.

Whip up an egg as if for an omelet, and make a disk from some of the sprouts. Dip the sprout disk in the eggs until it soaks up the egg. A thin wide disk is better as it helps the egg cook all the way through. Drop it into a lightly oiled frying pan. Flip it a few times until it is pretty well cooked; press down on it with a spatula to force out any uncooked egg so it cooks in the pan. When it is thoroughly cooked, top it with just thin sliver of some flavorful cheese like a good hard cheddar, and cover it until the cheese melts. It has a lot of flavor (more if your sprout mix is of the spicy variety or if you add some herbs to the egg scramble) and is actually pretty good for you. If you avoid egg yolks, you can do the same with just the egg whites. One different way to use sprouts is for breakfast. Whip up an egg as if for an omelet, and make a disk from some of the sprouts.

We eat tons of sprouts here--mung bean, wheat berry, radish, broccoli. If you can't grow a garden in January in Zone 7, eat sprouts. Robin Wedewer Ditto everything you just said.
