From Google News Search: "Edible sprouts" I planted purple sprouting broccoli last April. When am I going to get the edible spears? Q. I live in the south of England, UK where April is usually pretty chilly and Springtime. It told me to plant them in April on the pack. They haven't bolted anywhere - I wish they would!

Doesn't it say on the pack? Or if you can remember the variety name, look it up in an online seed catalogue. You'll get one head in the middle first. Cut this and the side spears will start growing.

Q. I am considering getting an eclectus parrot. I have been reading up on it (I finally found a helpful ekkie website!) and found that they need lots of sprouts everyday, lots of fruits and veggies, some edible flowers, herbs, and a small amount of seeds and pellets and a few nuts. My question is, where can you buy already sprouted seeds in the US? Or sprouting seed mixes? Also, what is the best way to serve fruits and veggies? Chopped? Grated? Which is easiest for the ekkie to eat? Thanks. Ekkies are different than other parrots. THey have a longer digestive tract and need a different diet. Very low in seeds, nuts, and pellets. Other parrots do fine on this diet, but eclectuses need a specialized diet. Please only answer if you know what… [cont.] Asked by Kendra - Tue Jul 14 13:52:03 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Packages of Parrot Food in stores are not always nutritionally complete and sometimes have way too much fat. Yes, your Ekkie is a special creature, and it's great you want to be sure to give it the best possible diet and care. Here is a place to buy seeds for sprouting: They are a good company to deal with. Also, you can buy some sprouts in supermarkets (usually these are alfalfa sprouts or mung bean sprouts, but others are available sometimes), and health food or natural food stores often have good choices. Growing your own is easy, and you can even eat them yourself--you could have dinner with your Ekkie. I sometimes use a whole carrot hung in the cage for my birds, but I don't have an Ekkie, but yours might like that, too. … [cont.] Answered by Seamus - Tue Jul 14 14:21:14 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Edible sprouts" |
