Growing sprouts!

I recently grew my own sprouts: Easy, delicious, cheap. Need I say more?

I started by picking up a bag of seeds at a local grocery. ( I found that simple Google search of sprout seeds can get you a bag just as easily.)

My sprout mix.

up close of the seeds.

My first try I added about half a bag, way to many seeds! this time I am going to go with 2 tablespoons and see what happens!

this is what 2 tbsp looks like in a jar 

 Now when I started I wasn't sure things would work out so I was extra cheap and did not purchase the straining screw on cap, I will be sure to pick one up next time I am at Weaver's.   In the mean time I use this.





Cover your seeds in cold water and rinse a couple of times. Then let them soak for between 8 and 12 hours.

I cover them with a paper towel and rubber band.

 Rinse and strain till no water comes every day a few times until they sprout! then store them in a paper towel lined airtight container for up to a week, but best to eat them quicker! Mine sprouted in less then a week (about 4 days), but different seeds have different time tables.

Enjoy!
