Sprouts
Vegetable sprouts are a novel way of supplementing your intake of fresh raw vegetables with minimal cost and minimal effort. Sprouts can be grown in mason jars or more specialized sprouters. Sprouts typically produce a multiple of the weight of the original seed, giving them a multiplier effect. Green sprouts, for example, will swell up to many times the size/weight of the original seed; such that a few tablespoons of seed are enough to produce a quart or more of edible sprouts.Popular Varieties of Sprouts
