I have spent the last few years loving to grow my own food. I have very little space and the actual volume of food that I get from my garden and containers doesn't really comprise a large portion of my diet. However, the quality of the food that I grow is worth so much more than what I can buy.
It occurred to me after I had a packet of radish seeds that it would be quite nice to have baby radish greens. They are wonderful and delicate and have such a bright flavor. After a bit of wikipedia web searching I concluded that I would start growing my own sprouts! The reality of growing sprouts isn't that great. It is a process of soaking them, and then rinsing them 2 or 3 times a day. Oh, and they mustn't be exposed to sunlight. And they need to be kept at a pretty consistent temperature around 70 degrees. That sounds kind of like an environment bacteria and mold and other nasty things grow. I think I would rather rely on commercial growers that(hopefully) have it down to a science and are doing it in a sterile environment.
