How to Sprout Seeds:
- For a quart jar, use ¼ cup of small seeds or ½ cup of large (double the seed amount for a half-gallon jar). Pour seeds in jar then fill with water and let soak for 8-10 hours.
- Drain out all the soak water. Place jar in a bowl out of direct sunlight. Place your bowl and jar in a space with good airflow. Stagnate air may cause your sprouts to spoil.
- Rinse seeds 2-3 times daily. Keep jar at an angle to allow air to flow in and out of the jar through the sprout lid. This also allows excess water to drain.
- When sprout "tails" are between ¼ and 1 inch in length, they are ready to eat! Thoroughly rinse before eating and remove any debris such as discarded hulls.
- Place sprouts such as alfalfa, broccoli, and clover, in direct sunlight for a few hours. This optional process is called "greening" and it allows the sprouts to acquire chlorophyll through photosynthesis, which gives sprouts added color and nutrients.
- Store sprouts for several days by drying with a paper towel and placing in an air-tight container in your vegetable bin. Sprouts risk freezing if stored wet.
