The Beansprout Book

[Pisces]

Found a great book on sprouting at a second hand store. Quite likely it's out of print but I'll give you the details . . . .who knows, maybe you'll find it on Ebay!

The Beansprout Book by Gay Courter
(Everything about sprouting beans, seeds and grains)
Copyright 1973 Published by Simon and Schuster

Tells how to sprout, what equipment, what grains/seeds to use, cooking directions, recipes, storage and preservation, etc.

If anyone is interested, I could post some of the recipes.
