2. 2

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

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

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