We'll be spending the next few weeks stocking up for the summer. Beyond Texada Island, we won't be able to resupply much, so we carry food for about 4-6 months aboard.

We don't use refrigeration at all, so the way we manage to eat fresh greens is by sprouting, which is a habit that we've kept up for a few years now. Each day we have a cup of sprouted legumes ready to cook with.

Dried legumes keep for a long time, and sprouting them reduces our usage of fuel to cook them.

Freshly sprouted lentils, mung beats and fenugreek.

@neauoire I love sprouts! Which ones are you using there?

@Ijio this is mung beans, lentils, fenugrek and a bit of radish seeds. It's my favourite combination.

@neauoire Oh thank you! I've been looking into also doing black oil sunflower seeds and popping corn seeds-- popcorn sprouts are amazingly sweet and, strangely enough, taste a little like popcorn.

My friend had a homework for a course she is taking. She is a very nice web designer. So, her homework was to make a demo landing page and she asked me for an interesting idea. From the list of ideas I provided, she choosed lactofermentation and took info from your wiki and grimgrains website.

@neauoire I'd be interested to know more about your food storage - I'm a bit surprised you can carry six months' food.
Have you tried a solar cooker to reduce fuel use?

@neauoire in my everyone sprouting uses quite a bit of water. How much fresh water do you carry? Do you recycle the soaking/rinsing water?

@plexus the legumes we sprout don't use a lot of fresh water, a quater cup in the morning, and in the afternoon. And I run that same water between each jar.

You can see how much water we storage and how we handle that here: 100r.co/site/water_storage.htm
