Too Soon to Eat Mung Bean Sprouts dailyfoodphotography

I showed you the process of floating the hulls off in my last post about sprouting mung beans. The sprouts are not really ready to eat yet but I don’t care, and I am eating them anyway. I couldn’t help myself and took a handful for the soup I was making at the time.

You see the sprouts on top of the food I was already making. I grabbed these baby, not-ready-to-eat sprouts while the rest of them were going back to the closet to keep growing. In this mix you see:

• Cabbage
• Carrots
• Black Seaweed (cut from a big hunk of it I buy here – I must do a post about it soon)
• Soaked Thai Holy Basil Seeds

The soaking liquid for the seeds is lime juice which I squeeze on the chopped cabbage anyway. Thai Holy Basil Seeds are like chia seeds with more flavor and they only take 5 minutes to swell up. They are the little gray things you see in the mix and very yummy.

Normally I would have more variety of veggies, but on this day I did not, and that is why you see the sprouts.

Underneath all this is soaked barley. Soon to be added is coconut oil, vinegar, turmeric, and black pepper. For protein, I add gelatin and either a cut up boiled egg, fish, or some kind of meat.

Finally, I pour boiling water on this; stir, and then it is soup!
