I just started sprouting!
I'm wondering if anyone has tips or favorites. I've only enjoyed alfalfa so far. I heard sunflower was the best, but I had to nix them because they came out fuzzy (blech). And Sno Pea was terribly bitter. Now I've ordered some mung because I think that's what you get in Chinese food? Yes?
Some vendors have mixed blends too, which I'm sure I'll eventually try.
One other thing, I hear that sprouts are crazy nutritious, but it doesn't seem to me that you can reap the benefits unless you eat a whole lot of sprouts every day. They're not substantial in that sense, you know? Does anyone know how much sprout ingestion it requires to pack yourself full of antioxidants?
Thoughts and advice about sprouting will be appreciated!
