Sprouting Food

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn how to sprout their own salad.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raub's classroom raised $430

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are in the Philadelphia School District, but specifically on the West side of the city.

They are interested in everything about food and cooking.

Every day that they walk into the classroom, the first question I hear is are we cooking today? I want the students to be able to see the entire process of a farm to table experience.

Teaching my students to sprout their own food is healthy as well as economical. It will be practical knowledge for their future and I look forward to watching them learn through this experience!

My Project

My students will learn how to grow their own food from seeds, grains and legumes which is inexpensive and healthy. Each student will grow their own sprouts to use in a dish they create.

The mung beans will be grown by students and used in a ramen dish as well as a salad.

The salad bean sampler will be used in dishes they create after learning to develop their own nutritionally balanced recipe including cooking techniques. They will care for their seeds every day in class until they reach growth appropriate for cooking. In most cases, the maturation rate of the seeds is 6-14 days.
