My lively babies

I love looking after my plants and sprouts. i do talk to them. and feel like they respond.... for example, sprouts in my sprouters on the window cell in the kitchen.... when i look after and connect with them, they seem grow quicker and really neat. also they look happy, just like my plants in my little garden downstairs! so, this is how they look.  and then when they are nicely sprouted, they look like this;

       In japan (and Korea) , we eat lots of bean sprouts anyway. so it was really easy for me to get into having sprouted seeds and beans in my diet. this is mixture of mung beans and puy lentils. one of my favo conbination. i also do; alfalfa, rocket, mustard seeds, azuki beans, radish etc. radish and mustard seeds taste peppery and give nice kick to salad when all mixed in them. i always wonder because they are so lively and have good energy, that keeps me regular?????? and being active???  when i make my salad, it looks so lively and full of energy, i can feel they are alive(fresh i mean). and sometimes, i want to smile to my salad because they are so pretty and have vivrant colours! now, it get a bit carzy, when i listen to my body, my body loves foods like that. lively raw foods, seaweed salad, sprouts etc..almost as if i could feel excitement from every cell in my body. when i used to eat junk foods( that was another things i used to love, i wanted to be a junk food critic when i was younger), more like my head wanted me to eat junks. funny how it changed....maybe getting old?????????

anyway, i usually sprinkle them on my salad or make like salsa with sprouts among other ingredients.

 another thing i did the other night for my healthy dinner was; steam fried buk choi with some tamari, finish with lemon zest and juice and serve, mixed sprouts on top as garnish. this mixed sprouts is; mung beans, puy lentiles, alfalfa and mustard seeds. just mix in small bowl with finly sliced banana shallots. yummy. 

photo abouve is alfalfa and mustard seeds. i have 2 set of sprouters, i do try maintain to grow all the time. they are great. economical, taste good and healthy. they been saving my money too. when i started to grow them, i couldn't quite get hung of it, they used to go off and stinky... now i can grow without going off too often. i tend to swap trays round as well to air them. i love watching them grow. i got some this feeling towards them.... funny. i do have that with my plants downstairs too.  so, that makes; i nurture them with love, they become happy sprouts, then i eat them in my salad, that makes my body and mind happy!!! so....all gooood then. they have super proteins among with hemp. oh, i do sprouts hemp seeds too. they are nutty and yummy. i've been experimenting with some new seeds/beans too. some don't seem to sprouts well... like spilit lentils... i was told they didn't, but i wanted to do it. i wonder what kind of rice sprouts??? i read on some book and raw peeps said rice can be sprouted.... o.k, my next experiment is .....rice!!!
