Growing Sprouts and Microgreens: A Fun and Rewarding Experience
Growing your own sprouts and microgreens can be a truly satisfying experience. I love growing varieties like alfalfa, radish sprouts, mung beans, broccoli sprouts, pea shoots, and buckwheat sprouts. They’re quick to grow, taste fresh and delicious, and offer a variety of health benefits. Plus, in as little as 2 to 14 days—depending on the type—you can be enjoying your very own homegrown produce.
