WHB #120: Using bean sprouts


The 120th edition of Weekend Herb Blogging is hosted by Erin from The Skinny Gourmet.
In my kitchen cabinet I found some Mung beans. The Mung bean, also called green soy is one of the important Asian pulses/legumes. I like the story about the Chinese rice growers, who sailed upwards the Yangtze Kiang. They carried a lot of victuals and soy beans for sowing. After weeks of stressfull journey they got into a thunder-storm, they struggled hard not to sink. The victuals where gone and they were in great need. The ship was struck, the powerless crew was prepared to meet the death. Suddenly seed bags began to burst and soon they found green, crunchy bean sprouts, which the farmers gorged at once. I sprouted my beans on the window sill.

WHB #118: Mustard chicken with celeriac & carrot mash

The 118th edition of Weekend Herb Blogging is hosted by Claudia from Fool for Food.
This week I write about the healty benefits of mashed root vegetables. They make a great alternative to potato mash. Celeriac is rich in vitamin C and folate, which is good for the heart. Carrots are a super source of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. They’re also high in phosphorus and silicon, which are important bone building nutrients. The mashed celeriac and carrots are accompanied with beans and mustard chicken.
