Sprouting sprouts is as easy as pie when you follow my very simple method.
I have had a few requests on how to actually sprout the sprouts so here is the way I do it. As you can see from the photograph, I have a lovely sprouting jar. You do not however need anything as fancy as this. Get yourself a large jar and make holes in the lid, and voila, you have your very own and very cheap sprouting jar.
TO MAKE YOUR SPROUTS GROW:
- Day 1: take between one teaspoon to one tablespoon of your sprouting mix and add to your jar. Cover with water and leave overnight
- Day 2: drain the water (that is why you need the holes in the lid). Cover with water and drain and leave to stand overnight
- Day 3 onwards: cover with water, drain and leave to stand overnight, until you have lovely sprouts
- Before putting your sprouts into the fridge to keep, make sure that they are very dry! They will keep quite well in a sealed container

I love sprouting my own sprouts. It’s so easy and very rewarding. Nothing better than fresh sprouts.
I agree so much with that – but often I forget them in the fridge 🙂
I wonder how the heavy humidity would affect the sprouting sprouts here in Mauritius? Will bookmark this for when I get home.

I would be interested to know that 🙂
Oh! my potential sprouts all thank you so much 🙂 Hugs xx
my pleasure!
BTW….how many days after Day 3 onwards would one expect to have edible sprouts?? How micro can you go hehe??
I usually get mine sprouted at day 3 but it depends on the weather and the mix 🙂
I just kill mine … 🙁
will have to find you a magic sprouter!
I love sprouts! They are shockingly easy to make and so fresh and yummy!
They are so much cheaper as well if you make them yourself which is part of the reason I love making them 🙂
What wonderfully clear instructions. Thank you. Have a great day. Blessings…Mary
