sprouting part 2

March 31, 2009 by: Penny

After our seeds have soaked for awhile, drain the water. Our homemade draining lid should make things real easy. Pour out the water, and refill and pour out again. This is rinsing. After your seeds are well rinsed, pour out as much water as you can get out, then place your jar in a dark place or cover with a towel. Seeds must be in the dark to germinate. The seeds need to be rinsed 2 or three times a day. After the 3rd day the leaves will start to appear, then you can take the jar out of the dark. If your seeds are for planting, you can now put them in a bowl and one by one plant them in cups or the garden row. If your sprouts are for eating, leave them in the light for another two days still rinsing.
