Grow it, Cook it, Eat it.The freshest, healthiest, tastiest food is what you grow and eat yourself!

Program 4 in the 10 part radio series “Grow it, Cook it, Eat it” presented by Michael Lemass is being broadcast on Dublin South FM 93.9 today at 4.30.

This program features a visit to Darragh Flynn’s sprout farm “Happy Pear Living Foods” where he tells us all about the health benefits of eating and juicing sprouted sunflower seeds, pea greens, wheatgrass, alfalfa, puy lentils, aduki and mung beans and chick peas.

If you want to buy sprouts from Darragh for your home or your business you can contact him by email at: darragh (at) thehappypear.ie

You can buy a hand cranked juicer from The Happy Pear for 45euro for juicing all the sprouts you are buying off Darragh or growing yourself at home. Ive just bought one and they are great; easy to use and easy to clean!

Next we go into the Happy Pear kitchen and learn how to make a squash and coconut soup and a tomato and red pepper soup with chef Doreen Palmer and then chef Noel Healy shows us how to make the dressing for the very popular house salad!

Dave and Steve Flynn decided to set up The Happy Pear 4 years ago based on an interest in food and health and a desire to make a positive change in their community through their business activity. They explain how its not just a money making exercise but more a social and educational activity as they have now started running education events as well as community events like the baking competitions which extend their business well beyond the concept of a shop and restaurant. Check out their site thehappypear.ie and check out their food in Greystones, County Wicklow!!
