I make trays out of the bottom inch of a gallon milk jug and drill holes in the bottom. Get the tray wet, throw on enough flax seeds to cover the bottom and get the seeds wet with a spray bottle. Just mist them with your water bottle twice a day and in 4 or 5 days you will have some really tasty greens!
I'm getting ready to do a video. I will link to it when I get it up on the web.

oh wow! thanks! but the flax keeps the same quality, right?

Just a side-note:


In considering alternatives to flaxseeds, steer well clear of whole psyllium seeds. In fact, steer clear of psyllium seeds in all instances.



Have you considered chia seeds?

Why is that Arky? - not that I have ever used it. I have used chia though I'm not overly fond of it.

Could the flax seeds simply be replaced with flax meal?

Could the flax seeds simply be replaced with flax meal?In onion bread, I should think so.

I find that that always seems to work well. I don't like flax myself, 100%, but I find that the flax you grind yourself and use instead of whole flax just improves texture _and_ flavour, believe it or not. With raw foods, it's amazing isn't it, what changing the structure of a food mechancially (versus heating) will do for flavour?
