We have gotten so many people asking us to share recipes, that I thought we might post a few here and there when the mood takes us. Today's recipe comes from our sprout supplier, The Sprout People. If you aren't eating sprouts, you should be. If you're buying them at the grocery store, you need your head examined. Sprouts are a tasty, cheap, instantly gratifying, low commitment, nutritionally valuable food. Ryan and I are partial to the mung and the various crunchy sprouts they sell. If you're interested in starting to sprout they have kits available, but note that we use the sprouter that they absolutely hate, without any problems.

This also makes tasty pita filler, and tops salad greens or rice well. It can be served warm or cold. Other additions that I enjoy are sesame seeds,
