Sprouts are nutritious, delicious and easy to grow right in your very own home. They are anticancer, packed with vitamins and nutrients  and are a great addition to any meal. Sprouts can be added to your favourite soups, salads, stir fries or any other meal that you can think of. All you need to grow sprouts at home is a glass jar, an elastic, a screen or cheesecloth and seeds. A screen can be purchased at your local hardware store for less than one dollar and the jar can be a reused pasta sauce or apple sauce jar.  There are a wide variety of seeds and beans available for sprouting so start with the one that appeals to you and follow the simple steps below.

Note: Different seeds may vary on exact sprouting duration so check the package before you begin. Sprouting seeds can be found at any health food store.

Steps:

1.       Place 1-2 tablespoons of seeds in the jar.

2.       Place the screen over the top of the jar and secure with the elastic.

3.       Fill the jar halfway with neutral temperature water.

4.       Let seeds soak for 6-8 hours.

5.       Drain the water from the jar.

6.       Rinse seeds by filling the jar with water and immediately draining 2-4 times per day.

7.       Cover the jar with a towel to keep out light (optional)

8.       Repeat steps 6 and 7 for four to six days until seeds have sprouted.

9.       Leave sprouts in direct sunlight for 1 day.

10.    Remove sprouts from jar and enjoy!
