Instructions
Pick microgreen seeds of your choice - there are tons to choose from. Some of my favorites are broccoli, arugula, radish, kale, mustard, clover, and alfalfa.
Add a teaspoon of seeds into your sprouting jar and fill with cool water to fully cover the seeds. Allow seeds to soak for 6-10 hours (or follow instructions on the seed packet).
Drain the water thoroughly (do not soak again) and allow the sprouting jar to lay on its side in a dark-ish area of your pantry for 24 hours. Keep rinsing and draining with cool water every 3-6 hours.
On day 2 or 3, when you see the seeds slowly releasing their sprouts, move the sprouting jar to a well-lit location (no direct sun!).
Continue to rinse and drain every 3-6 hours. I know, you are getting impatient, but trust me, it is totally worth waiting for the magic to happen!
Harvest on day 5-10 when the leaves are open and green. The number of days to harvest depends on the variety of seeds you've used. Refrigerate for upto 4-5 days.
Use microgreen sprouts on soups, toast or add to salads or omelette. You can even add it to your curries or smoothies! Allow your creative juices to flow.
