Home Grown Sprouts !

My sprouts before they were eaten, their were more, just bad photography quality !
This is how I ate the sprouts, falafel bread, ham, avocado, hummus, and the sprouts.


I wish I would have eaten my sprouts differently, I was unable to enjoy the taste this way, the other ingredients over powered the nutty taste, but they did add just the right crunch to my lunch! I had some of Naima's sprouts in class straight out the jar, and they were scrumptious just like that. They had a fresh nutty flavor I enjoyed, but my favorite sprouts were the radish I loved the zing. I found it serial to be growing food in my own little New York apartment. I loved watching them grow little by little over the hours and transforming into green beings. I am used to farming but it is a different sensation when you do it all on your own and with no soil!!! It makes me think of all the infinite possibilities; we could all grow our own food everywhere. During my internship I was conducting interviews on public space and I met a woman who is a farmer for a roof farm in NYC, Brooklyn! I found that so cool, I think that NYC would not only be miraculous with farms on all the roofs but so productive. Growing sprouts in a glass jar is just the start!
