Growing Sprouts

Sprouts for harvesting

I was given a couple of sprouters last week and decided to try them out. I had always used jars before. The problem with the jars was that I have limited counter space so I only started one or two seeds at a time. These devices allowed me to sprout up to 8 kinds of seeds at one time. It’s pretty simple. You just place seeds in the sprouter and stack them up. There is a reservoir to catch the water. Then just pour 2 cups of water into it. You can drain the water right after it stops dripping or before you add more. Repeat the watering process once or twice a day. So far the results have been very good. No signs of mold- which has happened with the jars in the past- and I have an abundant supply of sprouts to harvest. Now the hardest thing I have to do Is decide how I am going to use them all.
