sprouts-the home grown food solution

11/06/2024 11:50:00 PM
Sproutstaurant opened last week in Amsterdam, presenting a menu of 31 different sprouted vegetables alongside traditional Dutch potato mash (stamppot).

Conceived by artist Debra Solomon , the project offers home-grown solutions to the negative effects of transporting food by car and airplane. A majority of urban transportation is dedicated to moving and obtaining food. By growing our own food, Solomon proposes that we contribute to a more sustainable and ethical food supply. Another stepping-stone for the holistic revolution, Solomon affirms, "Sprouting, it's not just for hippies anymore."

Will we see sprout-kitchen kits in the aisles of Wal-Mart soon? If the folks in Arkansas get wind of it who knows what bedazzled alfalfa creation you?ll get for Christmas.
