Eating Seasonally

OK---sprouts are always in season, always fresh, and always easy, easy... because they can be nurtured in 3 to 4 days on your very own windowsill. Here's how:



Purchase your choice of sprouts (I did alfalfa) at your local health food store. You do not need a sprouting jar---a mason jar with a small square of panty hose works great.



Measure 1 tablespoon of seed and place in jar. Attach ring with panty hose over the opening of your jar. This enables your seeds to get air and lets you rinse the seeds daily.



The first day you will cover the seeds with about a half inch of water. The following days you just rinse the seeds and empty the water.



And in several days...voila! Perfect for sandwiches, salads, and wraps.
