Growing Sprouts: Indoor Nutrition Year‑Round

Why Grow Sprouts?

Sprouts are nutrient‑dense, ready in days, and require minimal space and equipment. Perfect for winter fresh greens.

Basic Method

1. Soak: Place seeds in jar, cover with 3× depth lukewarm water. Small seeds 4 hrs; large seeds/grains 12–15 hrs.
2. Drain and Rinse: Transfer to sprouting jar or tray with mesh lid. Drain well.
3. Sprout: Keep at 65–70 °F, out of direct sun. Rinse 2–4 times daily, draining thoroughly.
4. Green Up: Last 24 hours, move to bright indirect light.
5. Harvest: Rinse, eat fresh or refrigerate a few days.
6. Clean: Wash equipment with hot soapy water between batches.

Tips

White fuzzy root hairs are normal—not mold. Discard if slimy or foul‑smelling. Use organic, untreated seeds labeled for sprouting.
