I’m guest posting over at Self Reliant School

Years ago I learned about the benefits of sprouting my own seeds. It’s a healthy and economical way to bring fresh vegetables into your diet.

Anyone who enjoys fresh vegetables and salads will enjoy sprouts. There are dozens of different seeds and grains that can be sprouted and each one has a different taste and texture.

You’re sure to find a few that your family will love.

What I really like is the added health benefit for my food storage plan. If things get tough, I know I can bring out the canning jar and strainer top and have fresh veggies in a few days. I keep extra seeds in my food storage just for this reason.
