Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Pick over seeds/beans and throw away any debris and broken seeds/beans.
  2. Place seeds/beans in clean jar and completely cover with water.
  3. Soak for 6 to 8 hours.
  4. Drain the soaking water off and use it as vitamin-laden plant food (or discard).
  5. Add water again, shake and swish the jar, and pour off all the water.
  6. Prop the jar in the sink for a few minutes to allow all the water to drain out.
  7. When drained, shake the jar to distribute the seeds evenly along one side of the jar and set the jar on its side on the counter. (Because of the heat down here, I prop up the bottom of the jar to allow the water to drain out).
  8. Do not grow them in direct sunlight.
  9. Every 6 to 8 hours, repeat the rinsing and draining process. (IMPORTANT).
  10. Problems to watch for include mold from insufficiently drained seeds, and seeds that dry out.
  11. You should have sprouts ready to use 4 to 6 days.
  12. Rinse the sprouts to remove any hulls.
  13. Drain well and place in ziplock bag with a folded paper towel to help control the humidy.
