Recently I was sent the video below. I shared it will my friends on my Facebook page and it sparked some good discussion between some of my fellow moms. Please take the time to watch this 2 min video now.
I know that there are some people out there that think this stuff is made up so I wanted to do my own potato experiment. I was also thinking that my potato would grow vines right away since I only shop at Henry's and buy mostly organic. So at first I got a regular sweet potato and put it in water.
After 2 days I didn't see any sprouts... Weird, I probably should give it a couple more days, put it in the window with some sun and then it will sprout...
4th day and still nothing. I'm really confused. I will go back to Henry's and buy one of their organic sweet potatoes and start another experiment with that one.
Day 2 for the organic, Day 6 for the regular.
Day 4 for organic, Day 8 for regular
Day 7 for organic, Day 11 for regular. Yikes...
Day 10 for organic, Day 14 for regular.
This is obviously not working. Now I'm frustrated. Like I said before, I buy mostly organic produce. To see the potatoes not sprout made me look up Bud Nip. Disgusting to say the least. I encourage you to research it.
Today I am heading to San Diego to spend some quality time with a bestie. We have been friends over half our lives and she is really into the organic food scene. She is going to take me to a farmers, organic, vegan market tomorrow. I hope that the sweet potatoes from there will sprout like the one from the girls video. I will keep you update on what happens with those potatoes.
I am so glad that this video was sent my way because it has been a great experiment for the kids to see and helps my case for raising our own chicks and building a pretty big family garden. Some of my friends treat me like a hippie or call me an Amish Mama but it's all compliments to me ;-) as a mom and the one who is responsible for what goes on their plates I have to be informed. We're talking tumors, kidney failure, heart disease. Never mind the fat content in butter... What chemicals were sprayed on your apple?
Thanks for reading this post especially! I hope you get inspired to look into what your family is eating.
