Sprouts

Do you eat sprouts? If so, do you buy them or grow them?
How did you get started with growing them?

we eat mung bean sprouts, and make them ourselves.

I buy dried mung beans at the supermarket, put a half inch of them in a quart mason jar, and fill it with water to near the top and put them in a cupboard (so it's dark. The next day (18ish hours later), I drain and rinse them and put them back in the jar (no water except what is left on them. I rinse them every 8-12 hours for a couple days (until they just start to get tails, which is where I like them, you can sprout them more), and then stick em in the fridge and eat them fast. It's super easy, the only peril I've run into is forgetting they're in the cabinet!

I do mung beans and broccoli. I have them in a jar in the cabinet. I take a tablespoon or so and put them in the bottom of a mason jar. Then I cover them with water overnight. The next day I take a piece of cheesecloth and put that over the top of the jar and then put the band over top of it. I drain the water off, refill the jar and then pour the water out. I rinse and drain them once or twice a day for a couple of days and then we eat them. It's so easy. I just fail to plan ahead enough to have them ready for specific meals.
