There are several
ways to grow sprouts, the most popular, easiest, and least expensive is
the jar method. All you need is a glass canning jar (quart or larger)
and a lid - either a special sprouting lid or simply a piece of muslin,
cheesecloth, or nylon screen secured with a rubber band. Sprouting technique
is easy to perfect if four factors are kept in mind: adequate moisture,
correct temperature, air circulation, and minimal light. More instructions
for sprouting inside packet.
Please note that,
if not properly disinfected, all seeds have the possibility of carrying
E. coli bacteria. Please disinfect the seed prior to sprouting by soaking
in a 2% bleach solution (1 tsp. bleach to 1 cup hot tap water) for 15
minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
