FENUGREEK sprouts: Nutritious, delicious, AND best of all, an amazing coop de-odorizer

[Back2Roots]

We can find bulk fenugreek for $3 a pound, which means it's also very economical, since you can grow 1L of sprouts from 3 tablespoons of seed. It grows out in a matter of 3-4 days, making it much faster than the other sprouts we use.

Our ducks (and rabbits) also eat: sunflower sprouts (everyone loves 'sunnies'), adzuki sprouts (redbean), mung bean sprouts (chinese sprouts), mustard greens, chia greens, black turtlebean sprouts, and sprouted coriander (baby cilantro). Soybean sprouts seem to make them a bit gassy unless they are cooked for a few minutes first.

We've been really happy with sprouting, as a way to give the ducks some greens through the winter. Here in Newfoundland, sometimes wintertime lasts until May!

Hi,
Just wondering, are fenugreek sprouts ok for chickens too?

Hi all,
Fenugreek or Methi (as the Indians call it) is excellent for Life-stock as well as Humans. It pretty much improves everything!
Even controls blood sugar in Diabetics (less insulin needed).
Here is some research that has been done on Life-stock as well as on Chickens.

(This study even explains the science behind it why the poop smells better-

Feed/eat Fenugreek and health is improved. I personally eat ground seed in my Muesli or eat the fresh, young greens in salad or mix it in when making Cream Spinach. It is good as seed form as well as greens. I grow my own and let half of it go to seed. It grows so fast that it works in a lot of growing zones.

Try it! You can not go wrong with Fenugreek.
