One of the best finds I've discovered since becoming vegan is spouts. I first dabbled in the alfalfa sprouts. These are the most common sprout, and also the sprout that most people have tried at least once.
Then I moved on to the clover sprouts. My world changed after I tasted clover. Before the clover, I ate sprouts if they were there, but I never sought them out. After the clover, I made a regular trip to the sprout and micro greens section of the store in search of any type of sprout I could find.
Clover sprouts have a crisp freshness that alfa sprouts lack. Clover leaves are a little larger, and the stems are much thicker. I love to eat clover and avocado sandwhiches. I also like clover in my maki rolls.
One day while I was shopping, I noticed that all the alfalfa and clover sprouts where gone. What the *&^%!!!! I kept staring at the sprout section when my eyes saw these skinny stalks with big green leaves in a blue pouch-bag. I picked up the skinny stalks. I looked at the package. I read the package, "Radish Shoots." I read it again, but this time with feeling, "RADISH SHOOTS." I sniffed the package, so I could get an idea of what radish shoots taste like. They look like big , fat, yemmu, clover sprouts. I noticed people staring at me as I sniffed the blue pouch-bag. I felt embarrassed. I put the shoots in my cart, and I walked away.
The first thing I did when I got home was open that bag of RADISH SHOOTS. It was a science experiment. It looked as if they were growing from some tightly bound coil of roots. I kind of got freaked out. RADISH SHOOTS are alive!! They Live!!!
I ate them.
RADISH SHOOTS are delicious! They have a fresh peppery taste. They are spicy!
Now, I cannot get RADISH SHOOTS at the store anymore. I guess I was the only one eating them.
