Re: Just took a video of my sunflower sprouts

[Guest guest]

They should be covered w/ a dark cover and a decent amount of weight directly on

top of them for a few days until they push the cover up a few inches. They like

the weight. after they are about 3 inches high, take off the cover and let them

green and grow a few more inches. I've posted this video numerous times

explaining how the pros do it and I've had luck w/ it myself. Here it is again.(

I would also plant more sunny seeds. I plant them almost on top of each other

rather than sparse.)I'll post a pic of my batch growing now. They are green and

ready for eating....yummy!!!

So how do they look to you all (Hi Thea, , EW everybody!!! lol)

And I have the other pie plate on top (took it off for the video)as a humidity

dome.

Do I keep the humidity dome on and put these sprouts in a lighted place or do

I still keep them covered and in the dark? I'm not sure about that step.

I think they should no longer be in the dark because they need the light to

sprout right?

Mel,

They look great.Who told you to keep them in the dark? Not necessary. They

don't need light to sprout. They need light to green up. Get some health

chlorophyll.

I read both opinions. But since I inverted the cover (once they started

sprouting) and they are now GROWING, I'm not sure whether I should put a

dishtowel over them, or leave them (with humidity dome) in a well lit place??

I think they like the light right now. It's been 4 days (at least I think it's

almost 4 days.) I know they take time to grow but with the light now, I think

they will drink in the sunlight and grow upwards. To me, it seems that is what

they are doing now. I'm growing another batch. They are still in the mason jar

and I'm rinsing and draining twice a day. They have developed little tails. I

was told by someone to wait until they do this THEN plant them.

So we'll see what happens.

When I see them growing straight up, I'll make a video to show you all

Thanks much for ALL input. You guys are like Italian grandmothers. They all have

their own way of making home made tomato sauce. Some use Puree, some would say

" I would NEVER use puree, I use tomato paste. " Some would say " Tomato paste,

YOU USE TOMATO PASTE?? "

See how one can make the same end result but with different ways of achieving

it???

Melody

[Guest guest]

Thanks EW.

See my previous post.

If I do this correctly, I'll be sunflower sprouts for the rest of my life. But I

have two questions.

1. I know I can put these on my sprout salads in addition to whatever else I

put in my salads. However, can one use these in a stir fry?

2. When the weather gets WARMER, let's say June July, etc. do I put these in my

air conditioned cool pack? Or can they be sprouted the way they are now. Does a

warm kitchen affect them?

Thanks much

P.S. I bet I'll get LOTS of different opinions on these. lol

I appreciate the kind words EW, but the extent of my growing knowledge pales in

comparison to yours, and is limited to sprouts, sunnies, and a little dabbling

in hydroponics. I'm always open to correction and new ideas. I'll generally post

responses to others on what has worked for me. Sunnies seem to be quite a

resilient little seed, and will probably flourish under many varied growing

conditions. Whatever is working for a particular grower-more power to you!!! As

long as we can all have success with and enjoy those amazing sunflower greens!

Speaking of which, I'm about to make myself a delicious sunflower green, banana,

soaked sunflower seed smoothie!!!! Have a great day.

And I'd like to share my two cents. If I don't have to keep something covered

and I can put it on the shelf along with my other sprouts, it's MUCH easier for

me. I don't have to remember what sprout I'm growing, I can SEE them right in

front of me. I like to go EASY and not complicated.

To me, sprouts are so easy and fun to grow and they FEED us, there are no down

sides to doing this hobby. It's all a plus.

And this morning (and I was thrilled), my breakfast buddy , who is 72 years

old, for the first time in her life, as she was watching me put my sprouts on my

egg sandwich, she asked me " Melody how long do your sprouts take to grow? " I

(very carefully and simply) said' " oh, some take 4 days and some like sunflower

sprouts take 7 to 10 " . She said " Oh, that's cool "

Hey, Someone said " Cool " !!!

[Guest guest]

Mel,

As I mentioned, there is a tray of sunflower sprouts in my kintchen window at

all times. I generally only use them for salads and sandwiches and occasionally

snip one or two off for a snack. That tray is a happy place for my

grandchildren. They know it's there and they know where the sissors are, to snip

one off. When the next batch is ready to eat, I cut off all of the remaining

sprouts from the current batch and put them in the fridge.

I have never cooked sunflower sprouts, but thats not to say that you shouldn't.

I've always said, experiment to see what you like. You, Mel, are great at

experimenting.

I think you sunnies will benefit from a warm kitchen. After all, you see them

growing wild in fields and along highways in the heat of summer with little or

no water.

Mel, sunnies are DELICIOUS sprinkled over cream of cauliflower soup made in your

Vitamix-devine! For the cauli soup, just buzz up some steamed cauli, bit of

cheese, splash or water, broth or milk, and some sea salt and/or herbs-simple

and delish! The sunnies sprinkled over the top give some texture to the

soup-lovely!

I just sprinkle the raw ones on top of the hot soup-the soup wilts them a tiny

bit, but they still stay raw. I have thrown them in stir fry before, but I like

them raw best.

Can't wait to make cauliflower soup in the Vitamix. When my sunnies are ready,

I'll add some. Don't think I'll stir fry them. Just add to salads or to soup.

I just brought the whole pie plate over to my husband while he was eating

breakfast. I said " look at how they are sprouting " . He replied " Do you think

that's enough for us? " I said " why " . He said " that's one meal, right " ?

I sighed.Then I explained how I will use them (adding to salads, soups, etc. He

thought I would snip them off and make one entire salad out of them. He then

asked " And what do you do with the dirt? " I said " well it's not technically

dirt, but you don't reuse the coir, you throw it away "

Then he saw my frozen bananas in the freezer and he said " Oh, we're having ice

cream tonight? "

That's all the man cares about " Banana Peanut Butter Ice cream " via Vitamix.

It really is good.

I can't believe I'm eating like this and I really can't believe that my fasting

blood sugar was 87 yesterday. That is really doing good.

I'm on the exact same amount of Levimir I was before but my numbers are MUCH

better.

Even my doctor (who loves my sprouts) tells Alan

" Alan, eat like your wife eats "

Well the soup recipes are all online on youtube. Just put in Soup in the Vitamix

and you'll be watching videos for some time. I'm a video watcher. I can't just

learn from written stuff. I need to WATCH how it's done, then I can write it

down, then I can do it. Much easier for me. That's how I learned how to sprout

and do the Vitamix things.

The ice cream recipe (also on youtube) is so simple.

I take two frozen bananas (in chunks), some granulated sweetner (I use two

packets of stevia), two teaspoons of unsweetned cocoa powder, a few drops of

vanilla, a tablespoon of peanut butter, three ice cubes, and some liquid (I use

quarter cup of almond milk) but any milk can be used, if you prefer.

Then turn on machine, switch to variable 10, and turn to HIGH. Using the tamper

IMMEDIATELY, start pushing down on all four corners (not in the middle). Push

down hard. In about 30 seconds or so (this takes practice, took me a few times

to get this right). you will hear this horrendous sound, you will think you

broke the machine, YOU DID NOT BREAK THE MACHINE, and after this sound (take off

the lid and look in) and you should see 4 mounds. That tells you ICE CREAM IS

NOW ICE CREAM.

Scoop out and enjoy.

And if you really want to have a laugh, may I share with you my husband's first

attempt at making ice cream. Of course he didn't know what he was doing but he

had such fun. I have MANY other videos that you can link to by watching this

one. Sprouting videos, soup making videos. I don't do a lot of vitamix videos. I

still so new that I have much to learn but I do like to have fun in my kitchen.

Here's my husband. He was channeling Ralph Kramden.Enjoy

Would be good that way and with pita bread too or with a tortilla roll up.  I

like cheese on them often too.  Peanut and banana on pita is good too.  I

don't think I put sprouts on that but would be good with some honey.  My son

makes his own tortillas and they are great.  However, he makes them of white

flour instead of whole wheat I think.  I have wanted to make pita bread as they

would be much fresher.  Probably wouldn't last as long  as the store bought

but would have less preservatives. 

It is a bit of a hasssle though they aren't really hard.

I make a paste out of sunflower sprouts to spread on crackers, by just simply

pureeing them and adding a bit of raw plain yogurt and see salt. My favorite

way to eat them though, is to sprinkle them on top of a bowl of hot soup,

especially cream of cauliflower soup-the sunnies add a lovely texture and

freshness to soup!

Pita bread, roti, chapati, etc. are very easy to make, and store very well in

the freezer. If you individually freeze them for a little while on a cookie

sheet, then transfer them to a storage bag with a bit of parchment paper between

each one, they can easily be separated while still frozen so you only use what

you need. I make mine gluten free, and make a big batch at a time to keep in

the freezer.

right in front of me. I like to go EASY and not complicated.

Hi all.

My friend came round at about 9:30 a.m. this morning. She had to give me some

tote bags. I dragged her in my kitchen and you should have seen her face. All

ooooh and aaaahhh. She LOVED my sprout station.

And my sunnies!!!

lol

About anything is good on pita.  I have whole grain pita and had slices of ham

and a slice of cheese, 4 salad sprouts with some ranch dressing (diet) and it

was very good.  I'd have loved to get a tomato in there but there wasn't enough

room.  When I was separating it it stuck closed at the bottom.  Ithink home

made don't do that as much.  These weren't separating as well.

 

There used to be a health food store in town and I loved to go there and get

sandwiches.  They didn't last too long though.  Don't know anyplace like that

now.  Did have a lebanese place open just recently and they say they have

healthy meals and a belly dancer on Saturday nights.  Was tempted to take my

husband for his birthday tonight but he said he'd rather have ribs. It is his

birthday.

Pita bread, roti, chapati, etc. are very easy to make, and store very well in

the freezer. If you individually freeze them for a little while on a cookie

sheet, then transfer them to a storage bag with a bit of parchment paper between

each one, they can easily be separated while still frozen so you only use what

you need. I make mine gluten free, and make a big batch at a time to keep in the

freezer.
