Sprouting Jar Kit - Half Gallon Jar - Plastic Lid

The Sprouting jar is our favorite way to grow fresh sprouts in our kitchen. The "Jar Method" is so simple that it never becomes a chore. Just rinse it with fresh water a few times a day.

One quart will provide enough sprouts for one meal for a small family. If you eat sprouts often you might consider purchasing a few sprouting jars so you can keep them in rotation.

Each Half Gallon Sprouting Jar Kit comes with an 8 oz package of Protein Powerhouse Mix - Organic - Sprouting Seeds.

Inside The Organic Protein Powerhouse Mix

• Organic Adzuki Bean: ~30 g Protein per 1 cup serving
• Organic Mung Bean: ~30 g Protein per 1 cup serving

Sprouting Instructions "Jar Method"

• For a quart-sized jar, start with 1 1/2 tablespoons seeds inside the jar, screw on the fine mesh sprouting lid, and partially fill the jar through the sprout jar lids with warm water, not hot. Swirl it around to clean the seeds, then pour out. Refill with warm water to cover at about 3 times their depth & let soak overnight, away from light. This gets the germination process started.
• Pour off the soak water. Find a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight. Place the drained jar propped at an angle to allow any extra water to drain out. Turn the jar to spread out the seed. Cover the jar with the sprout jar lids and a dishtowel and leave for 3 to 4 hours.
• Rinse sprouts with cool, fresh water 2 or 3 times each day until they are ready to eat or refrigerate. When they begin to throw off the seed hulls, let the jar with sprout jar lids installed overflow with the water and the hulls will float out the top through the sprouting lid screen. Turn the jar to spread out the seed each time you rinse.
• Pour the sprouts into a pan or sink of clean water. Skim off any remaining hulls that float to the surface. Other hulls will fall to the bottom of the container. Pull out the sprouts, gently shake off excess moisture and drain in a colander.
• Clean the jar and sprout jar lid. Place sprouts for greening back into the jar. Place in indirect sunlight. Near a kitchen window is fine. After the sprouts have greened with chlorophyll and carotene for a day or so, rinse, drain with sprouting lids & eat or refrigerate.
• Sprouts will stay fresh & hearty for a week or more when refrigerated if you rinse them every day or two. You can even give the green sprouts an extra hour of sunlight after rinsing to keep them at their nutritional peak. Caution: Since sprouts are frost sensitive, don't place sprouts near the freezer compartment.
