Harvest

Sowing & growing

Wash/rinse the seeds in room temperature water and then soak for 4-6 hours. Drain well and place into a sprouting jar or jar sealed only with muslin secure with elastic. Fill the jar with water and rinse the seeds. Drain excess water and place somewhere warm and dark. Repeat the filling and rinsing process each morning and evening. At roughly day 4-5, sprouts should be large enough.

Aftercare

Leave the jar in a light place for 1 day if you prefer green leaves.
