How to Grow Sprouts
How to grow sprouts at home: seed choice, jars or sprouters, soaking, rinsing and draining, greening, removing hulls and storage.

Sprouts - Key Growing Information
For sprouting, use only untreated seed sold specifically for that purpose, and follow good food-safety practices.
METHODS:
You can grow sprouts in a clean wide-mouth canning jar, usually a quart or half gallon, in a Bioset Germinator, or in a commercial sprouter. With a germinator or commercial unit, follow the instructions that came with it.
CULTURE:
For jar sprouting, put the right amount of seed in the jar, cover the mouth with cheesecloth or another porous fabric, and hold it on with a rubber band. Fill the jar halfway with lukewarm water and soak overnight. Next morning, pour off the water through the cloth, which keeps the seed in, rinse again with lukewarm water and drain. Lay the jar on its side somewhere dark that stays around 60–70°F (16–21°C). Rinse with lukewarm water and drain at least twice a day until harvest.
HARVEST:
Once sprouts reach the length you want or show their first tiny green leaves, set them in the light for a few hours to green up. Rinse out the hulls or skim them off the water with a spoon; they're harmless to eat, but removing them helps sprouts keep longer. Refrigerated, sprouts keep up to a week.
