This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Gardening.
Similar to microgreens, sprouts add a freshness and crisp crunch to a meal. They are especially welcome in the periods of the year where other fresh plant foods are absent or limited. They’re incredibly easy, low effort, and they don’t need a lot of space or light. In other words, they are ideal for those living in an urban setting or small apartment.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Select a bean, grain or seed for consumption
In a glass jar or special container, rinse and drain the seeds daily.
When fully sprouted, show them being put to use.
To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Describe the plant you chose to sprout
- Image of them being added to the jar/container
- Show the sprouts after they have begun, but before they are fully matured
- Show the sprouts being used for a salad or cooked dish.
