Description
Sprouts may be grown in a clean, wide-mouth glass canning jar (typically 1 qt. or ½ gal.), in a Bioset Germinator, or a commercial sprouter. If using a Bioset Germinator or a commercial sprouter, please follow the instructions included with your sprouting equipment. CULTURE: If sprouting in a glass jar, place the correct amount of seed in the glass jar. Cover the mouth of the jar with cheesecloth or other porous material, & secure with a rubber band. Fill the jar ½ full with lukewarm water & soak overnight. in the morning, drain off water. The cloth will keep the seeds in the jar. Rinse seeds with lukewarm water again & let drain. Put the container on its side in a dark location that stays about 60-70oF (15-21oC). At least twice each day, rinse with lukewarm water & drain. Continue rinse cycle until harvest. HARVEST: When sprouts have reached the desired length or have their first tiny green leaves, expose them to light for a few hours to color them up. Hulls may be rinsed out or skimmed off the top of the water with a spoon. They are not harmful to eat, but removal minimizes spoilage in storage. Sprouts can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Broccoli For Sprouting 1 Ounce
