You can sprout corn for animal food? I thought only grass-y type crops benefited from sprouting. Any benefit to using corn for sprouting over other crops?
You can sprout anything, there are HUGE nutritional reasons to sprout, mostly conversion of phytic acids. With cows, they really do not metabolize grain well at all, by sprouting you can enjoy HUGE savings on the feed bill, too.
Yeah... if you are REALLY hungry. Maybe if you picked it very young. When I tried, it just stuck to my teeth and was not very tasty. The sprouts are DELICIOUS though. Yes, I share dinner with my chickens... doesn't everyone?

corn is a grass!
Cool - I want to grow some of those too, they are on my list. I hear that you can eat that variety fresh too!
