Sprouting Jar with Stainless Steel Screen 1) Place two tablespoons of seeds or1/2 cup of legumes/grains in a sprouting jar with three times as much water asseeds. Soak overnight. For many small seeds, five hours of soaking issufficient. 2) Drain the water from the jar. Rinse seeds in fresh, lukewarmwater and drain again. For well drained seeds/sprouts, lay jar at an angle ina warm (70F), dark place. 3) Rinse and drain seeds twice a day. In hot anddry weather, you may need to rinse the seeds three times a day. In very humidweather, the seeds should be kept in a dry place. Turn jar over gently.Overturning the jar rapidly will cause shifting in the sprouting seeds. Thiscan break the tender shoots and kill the sprout. This breakage causes thesprout to spoil. Sprouts should be ready to eat in 3-5 days, depending on theseed used. Put in sunlight during the last day to add chlorophyll.
