Sprouts!

So my experiment this week is sprouting.  For those that want to grow something with basically no labor involved, sprouts are the perfect food.
Basically, you put water on beans/seeds, and they sprout within the next few days.  Fruits and vegetables lose some of their nutrients as soon as they are picked.  Often produce travels a long distance before making it into your meal, which leads to decreased nutritional value.  Freezing, cooking, chopping, and even just exposure to air also cause a decline in vitamins and minerals.  Sprouts, on the other hand, are in the most nutritious stage of a plant's life.  They have tons of enzymes and vitamins, especially A and C (but it depends on what you're sprouting).

I happened to have lentils in my cabinet, so I used those.  Lentil sprouts should be eaten within 2-3 days of being soaked.  They're rich in protein, Vitamins A and B.  I'm going to eat them on a bagel with hummus.  This alone should be nearly enough protein for the day

The video I watched to learn how to sprout is extremely amusing.  I will certainly try to find more media from this duo.
