    Learn how to grow sprouts and/or microgreens. These are sprouts or small seedlings that are started in either water or in a special growing medium. Microgreens/sprouts can provide you with food within a few days to a week. They are powerhouses of nutrition and are grown indoors rather than outdoors so you have more control over the environment..

    Be warned, though. The seeds are not cheap. But when bought in bulk they are cheaper. I buy from True Leaf Market and have found them to be reputable. If you already have an outlet for bulk seeds, would you let me know what it is? I’m always looking to save where I can.

    PS Only buy seeds that the greens themselves are edible. For instance, you wouldn’t want to sprout tomato seeds and eat the greens as they are not good for you. And the seeds must be free of pesticides. Your research will tell you all about what is good to grow. There’s a ton of info on the subject.
