How To Grow Your Own Sprouts
Ingredients
  • Materials Needed:
  • Canning Jar (we use clear ball canning jars)
  • Sprouting Wide Mouth Strainer Lid or cheesecloth
  • Seeds of choice, I like Handy Pantry Certified Organic Alfalfa Sprout Seed if buying or same company for broccoli, or use any organic bean/seed.
Instructions
  1. Place small amount of seed into a quart sized jar. For mung beans and lentils I use ¼ cup and for broccoli or alfalfa seeds I use 2 tbsp.
  2. Cover with filtered water overnight or 8 hours
  3. Drain. Rinse with fresh water and tip upside down to drain.  Place on side to aid in drainage and prevent the seeds from sitting in water. It's best to keep sprouts out of direct light on counter.
  4. Repeat rinse and drain cycle 2xs each day until sprouts taste and look like you'd like, about 2-3 days for broccoli and alfalfa, 4-5 days for mung beans and lentils. They will end up filling the whole quart. I rinse and drain before leaving for work and before going to bed each day.
  5. Lentil Sprouts
  6. Once to optimal size/taste, dump and place on a towel to remove any added moisture. Return to container and place into refrigerator. Sprouts will last for at least 1 week.
