There are so many benefits from sprouts...my cockatiel loves them, too. I find that when I buy them, there are too many not to share with a family, friends and neighbors.

Here's a recipe you might enjoy: Start with 2 slices of multigrain bread...try to avoid wheat bread (we eat way too much wheat in this country and the gluten is harmful to many people). Spread bread slices with cream cheese, one sliced avocado seasoned with lemon juice, and about a TBSP of creamy garlic dressing. Top with alfalfa sprouts. Enjoy.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for pointing out yet another source of harmful ingredients. I gave my children Flintstones, like many parents, without having a clue as to their ingredients. Now I'm very concerned, because my daughter is pregnant with her second child and I wonder what's in her prenatal vitamins.

Once again, the American public is being taken for a ride. What is wrong with you people? Don't you know that your survival is at stake? What a bunch of lemmings! Please pay attention, class is almost over, and you might miss the trick question on the final exam.
