Sprouting Seeds

I have read how seed sprouts are easy to grow as well as rich in vitamins and proteins. After doing a little research I found out that it would only take a little less than a week a ¼ cup of sprouting seeds would produce 1 to 2 cups of sprouts which is about 4 servings. I decided to use lentil seeds for my sprouting seeds project. From the local health food store in my area I purchase as package of “Hand Pantry’s” 8 oz bag of Curnchy Lentil Fest Salad Mix along with a large wide mouth jar with wire mesh screw on lid.  Here are the directions for sprouting seeds.

      1.       Place ¼ cup of lentil seeds in the jar, place wire mess lid back on the jar.

2.      Add cool water to thoroughly rinse the seeds and invert the jar (without removing the lid) to drain the water out. 

3.       Next add 4 cups of cool water to cover the seeds in the jar to soak overnight.

4.      In the morning, drain water out of the jar.  The seeds should be kept moist not wet or the seeds will rot.

5.     Place the sprouting jar at an angle of approximately 45 degrees inside a large bowl to allow excess moisture to drain from sprouts between each daily rinse.  The sprouts will need to be kept damp wet and allow air to reach the seeds to grow.

According the directions if sprouts are kept at room temperature 60 to 80 degrees and moist.  By the end of the week I will be eating sprouts on my salad and sandwiches.

                                                 Look at those sprouts they are growing so fast!
