Title

The Joy of Sprouts

Description

What can you grow in a jar, on your kitchen counter, with just a little effort and be eating in only a few days? Sprouts! Come learn how easy and delicious home sprouting can be. We'll cover the health benefits, varieties, the step-by-step process for a successful harvest, and serving ideas. You'll leave ready to start your own sprouting adventure, with sample seeds to take home and try!

Must be 18 years of age or older.

Presenter’s Bio

Erika Bruhn never expected that a handful of seeds and a mason jar would become a favorite hobby, but that's exactly what happened. Fascinated by how quickly sprouts grow and delighted by the satisfying crunch they add to meals, she enjoys encouraging others to give sprouting a try and discover the joy of their own countertop gardens.
