A Beginner's Guide to Effortless Jar Sprouting

Sprouting in jars is as simple as making instant coffee!

All you need is

1. a wide-mouth glass jar,

2. a mesh lid or cheesecloth,

3. sprouting seeds, and water.

Start by adding about one to two tablespoons of seeds to the jar, covering them with water, and letting them soak overnight. You’ll wake up to seeds that are satiated and ready to grow, just like after a much-needed night’s sleep.

Once soaked, drain the water and rinse them a couple of times a day, ensuring they’re kept damp but not water-logged.

Before you know it, a few days later, you’ll have a vibrant jar bursting with fresh sprouts. Light humor aside, remember: sprouts are like low-maintenance pets—they just need a little love and attention!
