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! ;)
