She didn't mean to do it, she had put the beans and chickpeas into soak as she was going to make hummus.
Yumyum hq is very small and she put the bowl to the side of the stove and somehow, a saucepan lid ended up covering it.
It was this morning that she picked up the lid and found a bowl of sprouts!
Who knew, well, she certainly should have!
My hummus doesn't always taste like regular hummus because sometimes she adds beans to make it more nutricious and several cloves of garlic are always added together with a small amount of Palm Nut oil.
We African Greys eat these nuts in the wild, their oil keeps our feathers in good condition and they're extremely crunchy. Beaky lurves Palm Nuts! They're a big treat when she gets them for me.
She soaks bigger vegetable seeds before she puts them into potting compost and the propogators, this 'hurries' up a lot of seeds.
But sprouting seeds is not just for gardeners, there are all manner of seeds that you can sprout at home which are incredibly good for humans to eat.
Broccoli sprouts being one of them. These tiny little sprouts are packed with powerful goodies for you. Use warm filtered water and away you go!
There are numerous places to find seeds to sprout.. she gets ours from www.justwholefoods.co.uk. But you can get them from a good health food store or online almost everywhere in the world.
What staggers her is the determination of seeds / beans and peas to live!
Several weeks ago, she came across a packet of Indian chickpeas, which are smaller and have a dark skin, whose use by date was more than a few years ago, 'Hmm' she thought and put them into the sprouter.
Within a few days, these little brown chickpeas had burst their seams and sprouted! They made my hummus look different but they were not an iota less tasty!
Raw sprouts are really crunchy and considering how good they are for you, it would be silly not to have a go at doing this and putting a few of them onto your steamed vegetables or a salad.
We'll have sprouted black beans and Indian chickpeas on our steamed vegetables with garlic, chilli and olive oil for supper.
Slurp.. crunch.. snap crackle and pop!
