You can buy sprouting seeds at grocery stores and health stores. The fun part is that you can create a mixture of seeds - I tried red clover and broccoli together!
What you'll need:
Wide-mouth jar
Screen jar cover (any mesh, cheese cloth or plastic grid craft canvas will work)
Rubber band/jar ring
Directions:
- Put 4 tbsp. seeds in jar
- Cover jar with screen, secure with rubber band/ring
- Add water, rinse seeds (gently swirl jar), drain water
- Refill with water, just covering seeds
- Leave seeds to soak overnight, then drain
- Rinse and drain again, 2-3 times a day
Rinsing is important to keep moisture in the jar
For optimal growth, lay jar on an angle in indirect sunlight
Ready to eat in 3-4 days!
