Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
Rinse and drain the sprouts thoroughly twice a day — once in the morning and once at night. Incomplete draining leads to mold.
Keep the jar in a dark or low-light area during sprouting, then move to indirect light for the final 12 hours to green up the leaves.
Tips:
Use seeds specifically labeled for sprouting to ensure they are untreated and safe to eat raw.
Storage:
Once fully sprouted, store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Rinse before eating.
