Sprouts are a miracle food. Sprouting is the process of germinating seeds to be eaten raw or cooked.  They can be germinated at anytime of year indoors.  When seeds are soaked, the dormant seeds turn into a nutritional powerhouse.  There are numerous nutritional benefits as well as many ways to use your homegrown sprouts! Sprouts are so fresh they’re still growing.
