The other day, I was walking back to the play area of our back yard. It’s just beyond our garden and honestly, I don’t go back there all too often. A few weeks ago, to keep the boys occupied, I gave them half a bag of dried beans (I think the 12-bean soup kind) and they disappeared back there with a pot and some water, claiming to be busy making soup. Fast forward a few weeks, and lo and behold, those forgotten beans had sprouted. In the sand box.
And so yes, we harvested bean sprouts (and don’t worry, the sand box is clean!).
And after a good soak, rinse, and removal of the roots, we had some pretty tasty bean sprouts (perfect on their own, or on a sandwich, or on top of a salad)! What a pleasant surprise! The boys were completely blown away. A good reminder that good things to eat are so easy to grow!
This is great! they look so delicious, I love them in sandwiches. I love how this was some what of a accidental urban gardening lesson for the boys!
Waha! Perfect! I’ll bet the boys felt fabulous about that. 🙂
Cool beans (I actually use that expression often, and couldn’t resist) 😉
What Lilly said! This is such a groovy little surprise <3
