Product:<\/strong> Garden-in-a-Can: Grow Organic Cilantro<\/a> & Citrus Juicer<\/a><\/p>\n

Hypothesis:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been told cilantro is really hard to grow so I was skeptical. Could it really be that easy? Just pop the top, bury the seeds and water for a few weeks? And would lime juice help me win the guacamole competition? My answers were yes! and yes!<\/p>\n

Research:<\/strong>
\nWhen I heard we would be doing a more gardener-novice-friendly grow kit<\/a>, I jumped on the chance to test it out. If all goes well, I\u2019d have fresh cilantro in the house for the Purchasing team guacamole competition in a few weeks! I also knew then that lime (and tons of it) would be my secret ingredient, so I employed the help of our new citrus juicer<\/a> to get the best results!<\/p>\n

Experiment:<\/strong>
\nSo, I did just that! I opened up the can, gently buried all the seeds about an inch under the surface and then poured about 2 shot glasses of water in every day or two to keep it looking moist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I started to see sprouts within a week or so and a couple weeks later my cilantro had really started to become a forest!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So what does one do when they have fresh cilantro and a guacamole contest? I broke out my citrus juicer and got to work\u2026<\/p>\n

4 avocados, 2 limes, some tomato, onion and a few other ingredients later and I had my guacamole. And I added the fresh cilantro on top as a beautiful garnish. They say that\u2019s the money shot and I wasn\u2019t taking any chances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong>
\nThe best part? I won the contest! I\u2019m not biased or anything, but I really think it had everything to do with the fresh cilantro and lime – just ask the voters who lined up out the door just for a taste\u2026<\/p>\n
