Instructions

  • Use a clean glass quart jar.
  • Add ¼ cup of seeds and fill the mason jar with two cups of water. ¼ cup of these seeds will grow into one cup of sprouts.
  • Soak the seeds for 8-12 hours at room temperature.
  • Strain off the water through the sprouting lid. Rinse the seeds with water and drain again.
  • Place the jar away from sunlight upside down at an angle for 12 hours. I use a small bowl.
  • Continue to rinse and drain the seeds with water twice a day for 2-4 days.
  • Most sprouts grow to an inch while lentils, mung beans, chickpeas, and adzuki beans are good at about a half inch.
  • Add a lid to the top of the jar and store it in the refrigerator. Eat within a week for the best taste.
