      Steps for Sprouting Seeds

      The easiest method of growing sprouts is to use a Mason jar. The key is to provide plenty of fresh air to enter the jar and only cover the top with a mesh screen.

      Step 1: Soaking

      For a quart-sized jar, put 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of small seeds (up to 1 cup if using larger seeds like green peas or garbanzo) in the sprouting jar. Cover top of jar with cloth or sprouting lid and rinse the seeds in warm (not hot) water. Drain and refill so that water is about an inch above the seeds. Let the seeds soak 8-12 hours (overnight). Protect from light by covering with a dish towel or placing in a cupboard.

      Step 2: Rinsing

      Rinse 2 to 3 times per day for 2 to 3 days. After thoroughly draining the rinse water, lay the jar on its side to spread out the seeds. Do not expose to light. After 2 to 3 days the sprouts should be filling up the jar.


      Things to Remember:

      1. Rinse often (2-3 times/day).

      2. Keep them moist, not wet.

      3. Keep them at room temperature.

      4. Give them air to breathe.

      5. Don't grow too many in one container.

      6. Keep them in a dark place.
