Thanks for the note on school favas...yes , they are an great cover crop to build soil...along with their other wonderful properties for helping PD. Wish I could show you all pictures......Pegleg put in a fava picture she took for me as my avatar (didn't even have a camera back then) Now I have a camera , and a basic cell phone for emergencies...
Pretty good for someone who lived without electricity by choice for a while and carried water from a spring. I have been told that I should have been born 400 years ago....maybe so. Have opportunity to go dig up blueberry shoots this week....they are a fruit that we could never get enough of...so I hope they will grow well. You can all come for blueberry pancakes someday ! Have a great day.

Well, we got up a steep and very curvy mountain road and found the place with the blueberry bushes. They had already dug some for me and we got the home and planted. The bushes they had were quite tall and are supposed to bear real good berries ...should take about three years before they are big enough to start producing.
QUESTION: Anyone ever heard of neuro-feedback? (bio-feedback) Was looking into neuroscience for balancing neurotransmitters and they gave a practitioner near us....but he doesn't work with them, but does this other therapy. It is explained under
www.BrainCoreTherapy.com Don't know if it is something that could help PD or not, but he said they would give a free evaluation....may check it out.

Hi Aunt Bean,

I am wondering about your fava bean sprouts that you make using this recipe:

http://www.favabeans.parkinsonsrecov...t-balls-recipe


You mention that you can freeze them right after you steam them. If I do that, then how do we eat them? I am trying to make these for my dad. If I freeze them, does it thaw it out and eat them?

Also, when you make the fava sprout ball recipe with peanut butter etc. Are you just eating them cold out of the freezer?

Any info would be great.

Thanks!

You can freeze the sprouts and just eat them out of the freezer or make fava sprout balls. The peanut butter and pumpkin seeds are good for PD also (pumpkin seeds good for tremor)My friend eats about 7 or 8 balls a day. She either lets them thaw just slightly or pops them in her mouth frozen ( but she is normally too hot)..so it helps cool her down a bit too (like me in the summer with my homemade popcicles) This time of year..it is all I can do to keep warm enough.
My first favas that were planted outside are just trying to come out of the ground...always a great blessing to see. I have already tried digging one up to make sure they were ok under there (always too anxious, I guess)
