Default Re: growing sprouts for salad

Its easy. I use a clear glass jar, and put about 2 inches of water in it. Then I add my seeds, and put a square of cheesecloth (or any very breathable fabric) over the top of the jar with a rubber band. The fabric needs to let in air-but keep critters-flies and such out. I keep my jar in a sunny location. DAILY, you must dump out the old water, and put in fresh water. Be careful not to dump out the seeds when you change the water. If you dont change the water, it will get icky and ferment on you. It takes 3-6 days for the sprouts to sprout.
