How to Sprout Seeds at Home

  1. 1

    Prep Seeds & Jar

    5 min

    Choose organic sprouting seeds (e.g., alfalfa, radish) and rinse them thoroughly in a clean jar with a mesh lid.

  2. 2

    Initial Soak

    8 hr

    Fill the jar with cool water to cover seeds by 2-3 times their volume, then let them soak on your counter.

  3. 3

    Rinse & Drain (Daily)

    2 min

    Twice daily, drain water, rinse seeds thoroughly with fresh water, then drain completely and position jar inverted at an angle for air circulation.

  4. 4

    Grow Until Ready

    3-5 days

    Continue the daily rinse and drain cycle for 3-5 days until sprouts are 1-2 inches long with small, pale leaves.

  5. 5

    Harvest Sprouts

    5 min

    Once sprouts are ready, give them a final rinse, drain very well, and gently separate them from any remaining seed hulls.

  6. 6

    Store Fresh

    5 min

    Thoroughly dry harvested sprouts with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
