Oddly Increasing Nutrition in My Diet Decreased My Food Expenses

I started sprouting a few months back. Fun and informative reading about what happens to a seed once it soaks up water, sprouts, and begins to grow a little plant. Really fun eating several hundred to several thousand plants in one sitting.

Ounce for ounce seeds and sprouts have the most nutrition of any food (arguable). They are also the easiest to ship, store, and prepare. Sprouts will save the planet (arguable).

Regardless, I'm eating the freshest vegitables available because they are growing on my personal kitchen counter. This produce isn't introduced to any chemicals because I'm using organic seed and water. Sprouts are higher in nutrients than anything else in my pantry. Something like 25 cents worth of alfalfa seed creates about 6 cups of densely packed sprouts the way I grow them. If I used quart sized Mason jars it would completely fill two of the jars with sprouts in a few days.

On that same note: Stumbled on a short article about eating better for less. Interesting and some good recipes. Also found one on the 20 healthiest foods under $1.
