An Easy Way to Grow Healthy Fresh Produce Indoors and Get Good Eats in One Week
Urban dwellers and people with limited living space don't have to depend solely on fresh produce that is transported half way across the globe. A few household items, one square foot of counter space and some seeds are all that's needed to affordably produce enough fresh, nourishing food to stretch any food budget.

Few people know corn, broccoli, quinoa and soy beans can be sprouted as easily as mung beans.
Documented studies have shown that sprouts contain enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients not found in the full grown vegetable that protect cells and are attributed to cancer prevention.
The organic seeds sold in bulk at health food stores are ideal. Seeds for planting are chemically treated. Other than that - one mason jar, a perforated lid for each variety of sprout (or a layered sprout maker) and some water are all it takes for healthy, delicious, and easy food that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
Exploding the myths, writer and naturalist JJ Murphy, www. WriterByNature. com offers two methods for sprouting seeds. "You do not need a dark place to sprout seeds," Murphy says, "but drainage is essential. Four tablespoons of seed produces a quart of sprouts, which are easy to stir fry, sauté or bake."
Murphy recommends this as a family or school science activity, having successfully sprouted seeds in a 500-square-foot apartment. This is a great way to bring the great outdoors inside, especially for people who do not have access to a traditional garden.
