wheatgrass is also very popular here in farmer markets. People put it in smoothies. Perhaps it is another Canadian phenomenon as winter wheat (hard) wheat seed is easy to get and inexpensive here.
It looks really beautiful and green in the containers at the market.

pea shoots are my favourite I use regular dried peas from the grocery store as they are far less expensive than seed sold specifically for sprouting or as garden seed. Same with mung beans etc. all are available at the grocery store in 1 lb+ bags meant to be cooked and eaten for far less than what they are sold for as garden or sprouting seeds. I think it's fun that garden folks I know are always very surprised when I tell them I sprout peas etc from the grocery store. They don't seem to think they are seeds Of course they are seeds. Nice dry edible quality untreated seeds.
Sunflower seedlings are very good. I use black oil bird sunflower seed. dirt cheap.
