Ellen Sue Spicer-Jacobson presented a “Spring into Sprouting” class on behalf of MANNA at The Wellness Community of Philadelphia. Ellen Sue is a MANNA volunteer who has both a B.S. in Nutrition Education and an expertise in the cultivation and health benefits of sprouting.
The class was part of The Wellness Community's series “Ask the Expert About Nutrition” and participants learned techniques for growing sprouts along with the health benefits of adding sprouts into their meal plans. Samples and recipes were offered and materials and methods for adding sprouts as an alternative to fresh produce were supplied.
