Sprouting seeds is an easy introduction to growing your own food from the comforts of your kitchen. instafood sproutingseeds grow homemade seed greenthumb
ADVERTISEMENT Seeds for sprouting A shallow cake pan or Pyrex dishPour about a teaspoon of seeds into your mason jar. Fill the jar halfway with water and swirl to separate and coat every seed. Cover the jar with the cloth and secure with a rubber band or jar ring. Pour out excess water, tap to disperse seeds throughout the jar, then fill with more water to cover the seeds. Soak for a couple hours then drain.
Throw some sprouts on a salad or sandwich and it’s like a tasty bonus round of nutrients. Growing your own at home is so easy it kind of feels like magic. Plus, it’s a lot less expensive than buying them and offers more options, too. Not that into bean sprouts? Try peas or lentils. Sick of alfalfa? Go for broccoli or beets. Just be sure to get seeds specifically for sprouting; seeds for planting can have extra ingredients that aren’t safe to eat.
For both methods of sprouting, watch for signs of pathogens and discard anything older than 10 days before re-sterilizing your supplies and starting again. –jenny rose ryanThis article originally appeared in the Fall 2021 print edition of BUST Magazine. Subscribe today!
