Sprouting time!!!!!

EASY SPROUTING TIPS

Sprouts are a summer favourite for me, they compliment all my salad plants that i have growing in the garden and they are cheap to buy and easy to grow.

There are all sorts of sprouting devices for sale around, but i simply use a large jar that has a lid. I punch holes in the lid so i can drain the sprouts twice daily.

My favourite sprouts to sprout are mung beans and fenugreek but you can sprout just about anything using this method.

Cover the bottom of your jar with the dried sprouts and depending on your jar size,up about one or two finger widths. (The bigger the jar the more you can grow, don't put too many dried sprouts in to start with...they expand so much!!)

Soak over night

Simply rinse every morning and night under water and put upside down to drain. ( I drain mine in the dish drying rack and then put back on the window sill when fully drained, they like a bit of light to grow properly)

In a few days your sprouts will start to sprout.

Watch them growing and eat when fully sprouted. (Usually around 5 to 7 days)

Refrigerate after sprouted, put  into an air tight container and  then go start the process again!!!
