Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 tbsp sprouting seeds of choice

Instructions
 

  • Put 2-3 tablespoons of sprouting seeds in the bottom of your mason jar. Enough to cover the bottom of the jar.
  • Fully submerge in water and soak for 8-12 hours. No sunlight required.
  • Drain and rinse the seeds twice daily. Dump all the water out, cover those seeds in fresh water and give them a good swirl. Once all the seeds have been whirling and swirling around in that fresh water, dump it out. Repeat this process twice daily.
  • After each rinsing session, place the jar upside down at a slight angle.
  • Watch those sprouts grow a little bit each day. Check the package instructions, some sprouts only take 3 days and some take up to 7 days to fully sprout.
  • When the seeds have fully sprouted and are as green as you'd like them, they are ready to serve. I like mine to have a little green on them so sometimes I wait a day longer.
  • Pat the sprouts dry before storing them, and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
  • Serve your DIY sprouts on sandwiches, wraps, soups, curries, bagels, salads, or whatever else you can think of. You do you! ;)
