Sprouting Instructions

Yields approximately 2 Cups (1/2 lb.) of Sprouts

Prep 3 Tablespoons of seed* then transfer (if necessary) into a bowl or into your Sprouter.

Add 2-3 times as much cool (60°-70°) water.

Mix seeds up to assure even water contact for all.

Allow seeds to Soak for 6-12 hours.

Empty the seeds into your sprouter (if necessary).

Drain off the soak water.

Rinse thoroughly with cool (60°-70°) water.

Drain thoroughly.

Set your Sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between Rinses.

This is where your sprouts do their growing. We use a counter top - right in the middle of our kitchen. We don't mind the diffuse sunlight or the 150 watts of incandescent light, because light just does not matter much. A plant can only perform photosynthesis when it has leaves. Until then light has little if any effect, so don't hide your sprouts!

Rinse and Drain again every 8-12 hours for 3 days.

As long as you grow you have to keep the sprouts happy!

Note: Fenugreek is a sprout we prefer NOT to green. We like them small. When we eat them they generally don't even have leaves, but when we do grow them to the leaf stage, we prefer them yellow , so we stop as on day 3 or 4 or at the latest, as soon as they have leaves.

As always, we suggest that you taste your crop at EVERY Rinse - find out for yourself when you like them best!

Greening

On the 4th day relocate your sprouts if necessary.

If you've been keeping them away from light, move them. Avoid direct sun - it can cook your sprouts. Indirect sunlight is best but virtually any light will do. Experiment - you will be amazed at how little light sprouts require to green up.

Continue to Rinse and Drain every 8-12 hours.

As long as you grow you have to keep the sprouts happy.

Finishing

Your sprouts will be done during day 4, 5 or 6.

The majority of sprouts will have open leaves which will be green if you exposed them to light.

Harvest

Your sprouts are done 8-12 hours after your final rinse. After the final Rinse we need to Drain very thoroughly and let our sprouts dry a bit. If we minimize the surface moisture of our sprouts they store much better in refrigeration, so we let them sit for 8-12 hours....

OR

We can use a salad spinner to dry the sprouts after their final Rinse and skip the final 8-12 hour wait, instead going directly to Refrigeration.

Refrigerate

Transfer the sprout crop to a plastic bag or the sealed container of your choice.
