Guest Hosting ONLY SPROUTS Event

Hello Friends,


HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my friends and families !!!


Let this new year bring us all that we wish for and deserve.


I feel proud when I get to host a series 2 times. So, here I am again with another "Only Series" brainchild of Pari. Prior to this, I got the opportunity to host Only Series - Low Oil/Calorie. It was a wonderful success. Loved and enjoyed it.


My very first event hosting for the year, I am super excited about it and that too with a wonderful theme, "Only Sprouts".  And, what's even wonderful is that it comes with a giveaway from Pari. Please keep reading for further details.


Now who doesn't like sprouts right? Simple to grow and healthy for you. Here is little something on Sprouting from Wiki

What a wonderful way to start the year, by eating healthy and tasty both !!!

Here is a simple and short process on how to sprout your lentils, cereals (grains), seeds and even vegetables.

Wash them thoroughly in water. Soak them in plenty of water overnight (i use lukewarm to begin with). Now drain soaked contents and put them in lightly damped muslin cloth (or your kitchen towel - I have used both with similar results). Cover them lightly as if folding the cloth and leave it on your counter for 8 hours to overnight. You will start seeing little plants growing after this period. Now, some people like really long sprouts, so you can leave it overnight again for those. Another good thing about these sprouts is that you can sprout your ingredients in bulk (especially lentils, with which I have experimented). You can use whatever needed and then zip lock the rest and freeze them for a real long time. I have gone till 6 months. The good thing about this is that you can use them instantly without having to wait for a day or 2 to be able to enjoy them.

Now as always, here are the simple rules of the event itself.
