Something new my old sprout!!!!!!!!


Here are some sprouts that we use a lot of here at the Sheraton. I purchase these from the Organic Farm in Portugal Cove. they make great garnishes from soups , salads , sandwiches and beyond. They come in many varieties and each type has a specific taste. My favorite is the baby basil and pea shoots.
