I LOVE sprouts! Want a way to have reallt good, organic, home-grown super-food all year? You need to try to grow your own sprouts! They are so easy, so nutritious and even the kids LOVE them!

• Today I will tell you how to grow sunflower sprouts.

Organic black oil sunflower seeds is what you need. I order mine from Mumm's online. You need 1 1/2 cups of seed for a tray. Soak them overnight, spread the seed on a thin layer of soil and water, cover and set in a dark place for 3-5 days. When you see little shoots everywhere, you can uncover and place in the light. They take another 3-5 days. These are so delicious! We eat them as a side dish, a snack (right out of the growing tray) or I put them in my green smoothies.

Do you or your kids not eat enough greens? This is one way to get them into your diet, most kids LOVE them!
