[Guest guest]

, What kind of sprouting system do you use? I have a Sproutmaster but I'd

like to explore other systems... -Amber

a whole new world of nutritional goodies out there that most people have never

heard of!  The fun side of that is, that it often leads to other things, such

as sprouting (my favorite hobby) gardening, and other cool things.  I thought

" chia " seeds were for chia pets.  Who knew they were PACKED with nutrition, can

be used in all sorts of things, and work wonders to thicken a smoothie in the

Vitamix?  I highly recommend that you experiment with various seeds, sprouts

and other goodies.  I have at least three trays of sprouts or micro greens on

the go at any given time, and love to add them to smoothies.  Seeds are great

ground, or sprouted.  Try some fenungreek seed-it is what curry powder is made

with.  Simple seed to sprout, nice additive to soups and sauces.  (Don't be

surprised if you catch the " sprouting bug " !!  Fun, inexpensive hobby!   As

for yeast, I suggest

> exploring nutritional yeast as opposed to brewer's yeast, which is a by

product of the beer industry.  Nutritional yeast makes a lovely dairy free

" cheese " sauce, and blends up beautifully in the VM.
