I have decided to try both over the winter to see what might yield.  The late snow allowed me to place an order for a variety of flavors and nutrient rich seeds whilst the roads were still quite navigable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img1.jpg?resize=525%2C243&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1975\" width=\"525\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img1.jpg?resize=1024%2C475&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img1.jpg?resize=300%2C139&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img1.jpg?resize=768%2C357&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img1.jpg?w=1303&amp;ssl=1 1303w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I should be set for a season or two, first having ordered twenty pounds at bulk prices, then having realized a jar of sprouts requires but a tablespoon or two of seeds, depending upon variety.  I also acquired some sprouting containers and racks to normalize the process, hoping to be in regular rotation to keep live fresh nutrient rich foods in my diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img2.jpg?resize=438%2C891&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1977\" width=\"438\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img2.jpg?w=448&amp;ssl=1 448w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schierlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022_0125_Img2.jpg?resize=147%2C300&amp;ssl=1 147w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above is the slightly spicy fenugreek, which is fabulous mixed in my morning eggs. I can also happily report that rye grass sprouts taste remarkably similar to cucumber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I now have a batch of dun peas and daikon radishes soaking for the next round. I have a few varieties on hand, including the rye, that prefer a bit of time in soil, to then harvest the micro leaves versus the sprouts directly, and that I will begin over the coming weekend.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were two fresh items lacking in my diet last year.
