Super Sprouts

Turn a Handful of Seeds into a Bowl of Veggies Brimming with Life!

Ingredients

  • 1½ Tbsp sprouting seeds, alfalfa or seed of choice (See note below)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large-mouth quart jar
  • 1 sprouting lid
  • Patience (This will take a few days)

Instructions

  • Place 1½ Tablespoons alfalfa seeds in large-mouth mason jar and cover with approximately 1 cup water (preferably filtered water).
  • Place sprouting lid on jar and leave to soak on counter for 6-8 hours.
  • After soaking, drain water and rinse with fresh water.
  • Drain and rest the jar upside down at an angle on a kitchen towel. (Shake jar to disperse seeds evenly, giving them room to sprout.)
  • Rinse sprouts 2-3 times daily, returning to counter upside down to drain.
  • Continue the rinsing process daily until sprouts are mature and ready to eat (about 4 days).
  • When ready to eat, rinse, drain and place in refrigerator with air-tight lid.
  • Enjoy on salads, in smoothies, on sandwiches, or a sprout salad all by themselves.

Notes

Note: These instructions are for Alfalfa Sprouts.  Broccoli sprouts are some of the healthiest and should be a very similar process.  Check and follow directions accompanying sprouting seeds.  (I ordered online.)  There are many varieties of sprouting seeds, so feel free to experiment with this healthy habit.
