8df88935

Whether you’re a sprouting newbie or just wanted a friendly push to get you back into your sprouting routine, prepare to feel SO proud of yourself for growing nutrient-packed fresh food right in the comfort of your own home!

Sprouting Materials:

Organic sprouting seeds. (We buy ours in bulk from High Mowing Organic Seeds)
A pint-size mason jar
Cheesecloth or sprouting lid
Drying rack or bowl
Filtered water

Sprouting Instructions:

Start time: Before bedtime

Step 1 – Measure out the seeds

Place 1.5 tbsp. of seeds in your jar.
Fasten the sprouting lid (or attach the cheesecloth with the screw band)

Step 2 – Rinse the seeds

Rinse with cool filtered water (FIY: EPA recommends 1 part bleach to 10 parts water; we don’t follow this guideline.)

Step 3 – Soak the seeds overnight

Cover your seeds with at least 3x as much water in volume
Let them sit 8-12 hours out of direct sunlight

Step 4 – Rinse & Drain 2-3 times a day

In the morning, pour off the water (your houseplants will love it!)
Rinse your sprouts in filtered water at least morning and night for 2-7 days until they’re ready (2-3 days for beans; 5-7 days for leafy greens).
After each rinse, turn jar upside down on drying rack or bowl to let water drain. That’s it!
