When served cold, this salad is perfect for hot summers!
It features our Organic Sprouted Garbanzo Beans and Organic Broccoli Sprouts. Sprouting beans makes for easier digestion and is a cleaner option than canned beans which contain additives. If you cannot find our Sprouted Garbanzo Beans, you can soak dried garbanzos (aka chickpeas) for approximately 12 hours. Change the water at least once in between.
Any sprouts can be used in this recipe. We opted for broccoli due to their flavor and nutrient density.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 cup Fullei Fresh Organic Sprouted Garbanzo Beans
½ cup Fullei Fresh Organic Broccoli Sprouts
1 cup cucumber (diced)
1 cup grape tomatoes (sliced in half)
½ cup red onion (diced)
½ cup fresh mozzarella (diced into squares)
2 tbsp. broccoli sprout pesto (recipe below)
Broccoli Sprout Pesto:
¼ cup olive oil
1 cup fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
¼ cup broccoli sprouts
Dash of salt
Pesto Directions:
Add ingredients to a food processor and chop until smooth.
Salad Directions:
1. Boil the Sprouted Garbanzo Beans until soft (approximately 20 minutes.)
2. Drain the garbanzo and let cool completely.
3. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
4. Refrigerate an hour or so to allow the flavors to marinate and cool completely.
5. Top with more broccoli sprouts if desired.
Enjoy!

Whether on veggie burgers or meat burgers, sprouts are the perfect topping! They can be used with or in the place of lettuce.
Sprouts add flavor, texture and nutrition.
They are delicate and wilt easily so just be sure to keep them refrigerated until ready to use.
Our favorites on burgers are: clover sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, spicy sprouts, and broccoli sprouts. Which do you prefer?

Pepito wishes you a beautiful summer day and reminds you to stay hydrated and refreshed by adding sprouts to your drinks, salads and sandwiches! 😉
06/27/2024
Pepito enjoys a batido de mamey (mamey shake) for breakfast or snack. 😉
The alfalfa sprouts on top not only are a pretty garnish, they also add texture, a fresh twist, fiber and nutrients.
Shakes and smoothies have the perfect consistency so that the sprouts don’t sink.
You can also blend them in or stir to mix.
Have you tried adding sprouts to your drinks?

Who said sprouts are girly? Nutrient dense foods like sprouts make us all superheroes! They fill us up with vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and more while helping to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, improve mood, improve digestion, maintain healthy weight...
They can be eaten with “manly” foods like burgers, sandwiches, on top of steak, chicken, pasta...
06/11/2024
Sprouts take a sandwich from good to GREAT!
They not only add texture and color, they add a ton of nutients. Sprouts pack a punch when it comes to nutrient density.
Don’t believe us? Search real scientific studies published on pubmed.gov.

No matter the weather, a bowl of noodles is always comforting!
While not our bean sprouts in this picture, we did eat this while on vacation. Not bad for being food court food.

Have you tried soy sprouts? While they look similar to bean sprouts, they are sprouted from soybean seeds and have a crunchier texture. Bean sprouts come from mung bean seeds.
Soy sprouts are most commonly eaten in Korean cuisine as a cold side dish as seen here.
Find them at Asian grocery stores or restaurants.

This was not an April Fools joke. We really did eat all these sprouts.
For all those who don’t like to eat vegetables, this is an easy way to eat them. Beneath the pea shoots and clover sprouts is rice and Salisbury steak. You can also do this with picadillo, chili or vegan options.
Sprouts and microgreens are loaded with vitamins so by incorporating them into your meals, you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck.

It was a pleasure hosting the Putnam County Master Gardeners Club at our indoor farm!

Our team is hard at work growing and shipping close to 1000 wheatgrass trays this week in anticipation for Easter!
They are hydroponically grown so there is no messy soil to handle, making it ideal for use in centerpieces and floral arrangements.
Imagine bunnies and eggs on the lush green grass!
After Easter you can cut and juice the grass. 1 ounce a day is all the veggies you need.

Who else made too much corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day? Turn it into corned beef hash and top it with sprouts to balance out the dish!
Adding sprouts to this dish is also a great way to get meat eaters to eat more veggies or introduce them to sprouts!
A rough recipe for 2 servings (measurements not exact and it was not timed - oops:)
1. Dice 2 potatoes and roast until cooked.
2. Dice 1/4 cup onion.
3. Dice 1/2 cup corned beef.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and add onions. Stir occasionally until browned.
5. Add potatoes and corned beef. Stir and serve.
6. Top with sprouts. We used organic broccoli but any sprouts will do.
Enjoy!

Today we harvested many of the sprouts that grow in rotary drums like alfalfa, broccoli, clover, spicy… the seeds were planted on Monday and just 3 days later they are ready! They grow in these machines designed by our sister company which have nozzles built in and are programmed to spray water and rotate at different intervals. They have fans and lights too. There are ZERO PESTICIDES, ADDITIVES OR PRESERVATIVES.Talk about a quick crop cycle and sustainable.We remove the sprouts from the growing machines and put them in a wash which contains only purified water. Then they go to spin dry (also in machines designed by our sister company) and go to cool before packing.In a few days they’ll be on your plate.

Today is National Sprout Day! We celebrate these baby veggies for being mighty superfoods and sustainable! Did you know that sprouts are significantly more nutrient dense than full grown vegetables? They have been scientifically proven to prevent disease. Most research has been conducted on broccoli sprouts due to their high sulforaphane content. That’s not to say the other varieties aren’t nutrient dense. There have been papers written on sprouts aiding in depression, PMS, menopause, diabetes, cholesterol… Check out the research published on pubmed.gov.Did you also know that sprouts are extremely sustainable agriculture? They’re grown indoors without soil, pesticides or additives, have high germination rates and yields and take as little as 3 days to grow!Join us in this celebration by sharing this with your family and friends.

A long overdue and much appreciated tech visit from the Japanese equipment manufacturer means we’re finally getting it right on packing 5 lb bean sprouts and soy sprouts! Covid restrictions kept them from coming for the machine’s installation in 2020 so we previously ran it as best we could. Now it’s a world of difference! The sprouts go from harvest to packing with less handling than when packed by hand. This ensures better food safety (fewer hands and chances for cross contamination in touching product) and less water and chemical usage because we no longer need to use dozens of buckets. #beansprouts #fulleifresh #sprouts #soysprouts #foodservice #foodindustry #foodandbeverage #fandb #produceindustry #producenews #agnews #foodsafety #foodmanufacturing #freshveggies #indoorfarm #hydroponicfarm #urbanfarm #freshfromfl #whereyourfoodcomesfrom #wherefoodcomesfrom #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood #knowyourfarmer #producebuyer #mungbeans #sprouting

The bean and soy sprouts machine is a go!!! We’ve never seen this area look so good or be so excited to see these numbers counting down! This is the irrigation system and the numbers are counting down until the water turns on. If all goes well, we will have bean and soy sprout deliveries on November 1st. In the meantime, all other products are not affected and continue to be in full operation. #sprouts #sprouting #fulleifresh #indoorfarm #hydroponicfarm #urbanfarm #agnews #germinados #beansprouts #soysprouts
2 weeks in and we’re still refurbishing the bean and soy sprout department. It’s looking gorgeous and we can’t wait to start planting again! It’s been a long overdue pause after 35 years of continuous production 24/7/365 in this facility. #sprouts #beansprouts #fulleifresh #foodandbeverage #foodindustry #foodmanufacturing #indoorfarm #hydroponicfarm #urbanfarm #soysprouts #germinados #wherefoodcomesfrom
Thanks Soflo Vegans and Veg Nite Out!
These sprouts were packed on August 13, left Miami on a road trip on the 22nd, and this video was taken on Aug. 30 in Montana. They stayed amazingly fresh and far superior to what we saw locally in South Dakota, Montana and Utah! Produce buyers and managers, help us with distribution beyond the southeast. We know our quality and shelf life are excellent! More pictures and videos of our sprout travels coming soon. #foodandbeverage #foodindustry #produceindustry #produce #foodserviceindustry #foodservice #retailer #foodretail #retail #groceryindustry #grocerybusiness #grocery #freshveggies #sprouts #midwest #southwest #utah #colorado #montana #southdakota #wyoming #eatfreshveggies #eatfresh #producemanager #sprouting #winco #wincofoods #naturalgrocers #safeway #wholefoods
