Tonight is brown rice night!
After reading up on our mold problem at our new favorite sprouting site,
we realized that our situation was probably due to a lack of ventilation. We will rectify this for our next crop. Sad, but only one tablespoon of seeds lost.
Sprouting adventures, round 2. Our second batch of sprouts turned out so much better than the first! With advice from dad, the sprouting master, we used only one heaping tablespoon of seeds, kept them in the dark for the first day (+?), and rinsed twice a day. We did not over-dry them, in fact, they were out to dry for less than 10 minutes. It’s hot a dry here now (except for the rain storm last night!), and the overhead fans seem to de-humidify the sprouts super quick.
Half the batch was gone within hours, the second half will be gone today.
The seeds started soaking on Tuesday night, and the sprouts were ready on Friday morning.
Great corn-on-the-cob from #Dorabjees last night. @PuneFoodies
It is a sad day here in Pune, as I have received word from our favorite health-food producers in town that they have been forced to leave for bogus visa reasons.
Dakini Foods produced the best natural food products we could find in town — including all natural and fresh peanut butter, tofu, tempeh, and rice cakes. Ah, what a sad, sad day.
What is more, it seems that corruption and abuse of power were the rule in the government’s under-handed dealings with Hillel Shapira, the proprietor of Dakini Foods, even to the extent of imprisoning him and making him pay bribes to use the bathroom.
We clearly live in uncertain times when the emerging leaders of the “free” world act indiscriminately with impunity.
We wish Hillel and the others the best, and hope they find prosperity in their next ventures. Good bye, Dakini!
