Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Measure 2 to 3 tablespoons of your chosen sprouting seeds and pour into a clean wide-mouth mason jar.
- Rinse the seeds by filling the jar halfway with cool filtered water, swirling gently, then draining through cheesecloth or a sprouting lid.
- Cover the seeds with fresh filtered water by about one inch, secure the jar with cheesecloth and a rubber band, and soak at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours.
- After soaking, drain all water through the cheesecloth, then gently shake the jar to remove excess moisture and prevent mold.
- Place the jar tilted at a slight angle on a shelf or counter away from direct sunlight, allowing air to circulate and water to drip out.
- Rinse the seeds twice daily (morning and evening): fill the jar with cool water, swirl gently, and drain completely.
- Continue rinsing daily for 3 to 5 days until white tails reach 1/2 to 1 inch long, checking growth and removing any floating debris.
- Optional: For a hint of green, place the jar in indirect natural light for the final 8 to 12 hours of sprouting.
- Give the sprouts a final rinse, drain thoroughly, then spread on a clean towel or paper towels to dry slightly before storing.
Notes
Start a second jar on day two to maintain a continuous supply. Discard any batch with mold, sterilize the jar before reuse, and always rinse twice daily.
