Sprouting!

Supplies:

- 1 Mason Jar (as shown above with a mesh lid cover)
- seedlings (alfalfa)

Steps:

- Put 2 and a 1/2 Tbs of alfalfa seeds into the jar, and fill the jar 3/4 of the way full with water.
- Let sit for the next 6-8 hours (overnight is the easiest)
- Drain and rinse the seeds (while not removing lid) to make sure that the enzyme-inhibitors are washed off.
- Roll jar so that seeds stick to the side as shown above.
- For the next 3-5 days rinse the seeds twice a day to make sure that the seeds stay hydrated (seedling tails will grow to about 1-2 inches in length).

They should end up looking like this:

And voila! I am a proud sprouter! : ,- )

- When you are ready to store them, put them into a large bowl and fill it with water.

- The brown seed shells should come floating up.

- Drain the shells while keeping the sprouts secure in the bowl.

- Repeat as needed.

Enjoy! :)
