How to Sprout Seeds
Jar Method Sprout Instructions
Good sprouting technique doesn't
take a "green thumb" , just a good set of sprout
instructions on how to sprout seeds and paying attention to
four factors: the right amount of moisture, the correct temperature,
the free circulation of air, and minimal light. By rinsing
them a couple of times daily, you keep them moist. You also
wash away carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes that could
cause souring or spoiling. Using cool water when rinsing ventilates
and cools the sprouts to prevent overheating. Proper drainage
prevents excessive moisture that can cause mold and rot and
is essential in how to sprout seeds. The ideal sprouting temperature
depends on the seed, but generally lies between 70 and 85
degrees F. To protect the tiny growing things, keep sprouting
containers away from cold drafts, direct heat, or any light.
For free air circulation, at least one-third of the container
must be empty. Sprouts expand 6 to 10 times over a few days,
so give them plenty of room to grow. Sprouts are very light
sensitive and need to be covered during the early stages of
the growing cycle.
The Six Rules of How to Sprout Seeds:
- Rinse often.
- Keep seeds / sprouts moist,
not wet.
- Keep seeds / sprouts at
room temperature.
- Give them plenty of room
to breathe.
- Don't put too many seeds
in any one container.
- Keep them covered - no light.
How To Sprout
Seeds Instructions for Jar Method: 
This is by far the oldest and most popular method of how to
sprout seeds. And some of the easiest "How To" Instructions
to follow. All you need is a standard wide mouth, threaded,
quart
sprouting jar, half-gallon
sprouting jar or gallon
glass or plastic jar and some sprout instructions that
show you how to sprout seeds like you have here. One technique
of how to sprout seeds with the jar method is to cover the
mouth of your sprouting jar with muslin, cheesecloth or nylon
mesh secured with a rubber band over and around the top. This
will work, but the screen is subject to mold and mildew build-up
and is not as easy as using special sprouting lids designed
specifically for this purpose, like the Handy
Pantry Sprouting Lid. The Handy Pantry Sprouting Lid is
a screw on plastic lid. It is made from food-grade polyethylene
and has a mesh like screen to make sprouting even easier.

Sprout Instructions: Step 1
For
a quart-sized
jar, start with 1 1/2 tablespoons seeds inside
the jar, screw on the fine mesh lid and partially
fill the jar with warm water, not hot. Swirl it around
to clean the seeds, then pour out. Refill with warm
water to cover at about 3 times their depth &
let soak overnight, away from light. This gets the
germination process started. |

Sprout Instructions: Step 2
Pour
off the soak water. Find a location that is not exposed
to direct sunlight. Place drained jar propped at an
angle to allow any extra water to drain out. Turn
the jar to spread out the seeds. Cover the jar with
a dishtowel and leave seeds for 3 to 4 hours.
|

Sprout Instructions: Step 3
Rinse
sprouts with cool, fresh water 2 or 3 times each day
until they are ready to eat or refrigerate. When they
begin to throw off the seeds hulls, let the jar overflow
with the water and the seeds hulls will float out
the top through the screen. Turn the jar to spread
out the seeds each time you rinse. |

Sprout Instructions: Step 4
Pour
the sprouts into a pan or sink of clean water. Skim
off any remaining seeds hulls that float to the surface.
Other seeds hulls will fall to the bottom of the container.
Pull out the sprouts, gently shake off excess moisture
and drain in a colander. |

Sprout Instructions: Step 5
Clean
the seeds from jar and lid. Place sprouts for greening
back into the jar. Place in indirect sunlight. Near
a kitchen window is fine. After the sprouts have greened
with chlorophyll and carotene for a day or so, rinse,
drain & eat or refrigerate. |

Sprout Instructions: Step 6
Sprouts
will stay fresh & hearty for a week or more when
refrigerated, if you rinse them every day or two.
You can even give the green sprouts an extra hour
of sunlight after rinsing to keep them at their nutritional
peak. Caution: Since sprouts are frost sensitive,
don't place sprouts near the freezer compartment.
