Did you know you could grow a steady harvest all year long of living food to nourish your body in less than 2 minutes per day and .25 cents per week? It’s easy, even for those who, like me, have a black thumb and can’t seem to grow anything.

This post will cover the easy steps of how to grow sprouts, how they can benefit your health, and how you can enjoy them every day.

First, let me show you how easy it is to grow sprouts.

Yield: 1-3 Jars of Sprouts

How to Grow Sprouts

Learn step-by-step, easy instructions for keeping a bountiful harvest of nutrient rich, living food to nourish your body all year long.

Prep Time 1 minute

Active Time 2 minutes

Total Time 3 minutes

Materials

Organic Sprouting Seeds

Tools

Instructions

Place 1-2 Tablespoons of desired sprouting seeds or blend of seeds in each jar.
Cover seeds with about an inch of filtered water.
Place sprouting lids ontop of each jar.
Set each jar upright on the kitchen counter, perferably by the sink.
Let the seeds soak overnight.
In the morning, swirl around the water and flip the jar over to drain out all the water.
Set jars upside down to continue draining by the sink. I use a small tray underneath my jars to collect excess water.
In the evening, rinse the seeds with water, again swirling around, and then draining out the water.
Repeat this process every morning and evening until your seeds sprout and fill the jar.
Pour out the sprouts onto a clean dish towel and spread out to let them air dry a bit before storing them in a refrigerator container.
Eat daily on literally everything. Use within a week.

Notes

Please note: If you forget to rinse and drain and they start smelling, toss them in the trash or compost bin and start again. Let your nose be your guide to food safety.

I use Tupperware Fridgesmart containers to help my fresh produce last longer. You can read more about how I use them in my post about How to Keep Your Produce Fresh Longer.
