Food note: sunflower sprouts

[redbird]

adrian_turtle is visiting me and cattitude. We went to the farmer's market this morning, as Cattitude and I usually do on Saturdays. At one of the stalls, where we were buying carrots and deciding that we would get our blackberries from a different farm, Adrian noticed sunflower sprouts, which she had never had nor seen before. So we bought a quarter pound.

I washed some of the sprouts for Adrian to put on her sandwich at lunchtime, and took one to taste. I liked it enough to take a couple more. They'll never be my favorite food, but they're tasty, in a mild and crunchy sort of way. (Think relatively thick sprouts, not tiny thread-like ones.)
