✨ My favorite kitchen tools:
Sprouting jars (I was really surprised at how well these worked!) amzn.to/3NHX8r2
Unbleached cheesecloth (If you prefer the jar & cheesecloth method) amzn.to/3NOQkbn
Alfalfa sprouts: amzn.to/44wBaxd
Mung beans to sprout: amzn.to/3Bf0bPW
Black beluga lentils to sprout: amzn.to/3HPnqEa
Green lentils to sprout: amzn.to/42ynP5M
🌱 Directions for sprouts:
1. Rinse & drain: Measure 1-2 tablespoons of seeds or legumes into a clean jar. (FYI 10g of alfalfa seed = 75g of sprouts.) Rinse & drain all seeds/legumes before using.
2. Soak: 8-12 hours for lentils or mung beans, 4-6 hours for alfalfa seeds or the sandwich blend that I used in this video. (I like to soak my sandwich blend seeds in the afternoon and then drain just before I go to sleep. The lentils & mung beans I soak overnight and drain in the morning. I find this schedule works well for accommodating both types of sprouts.)
3. Drain: After soaking, drain the soaking liquid and rest jar in downward facing position so any other liquid can drain out.
4. Rinse & drain 2x per day (morning & night works best).
5. After about 4-5 days you will start to see full-grown sprouts! You can eat them at any time after around 4 days.
6. Store: Once sprouted, keep sprouts in fridge in an air-tight container. I like to use a bit of paper towel at the bottom of my tupperware to absorb any excess moisture, but this is optional.

Should we keep the jars in sunlight?
Keep them out of direct sunlight at the beginning, so a shady spot in the kitchen works well. Otherwise they get too hot & dry. 🤗🤗 On the 4th or 5th day some people like to put them near the sun for a little boost, but that’s optional. 😄
Sprouts are so underrated! Always wanted to grow my own sprouts, the ones in the grocey store are expensive.
I never knew how to begin, so I am very happy with this step-by-step guide. Thank you!
So underrated! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 And yes... I remember paying $3-4 for a tiny box before! I'm so glad this was helpful... happy sprouting! 🤗🤗
Yay, now I finally get to ask my one question about sprouting. I noticed that when the sprouts are done, you did not remove the seeds. So, when you go to eat them, are the seed hulls crunchy or chewy? I don't ever remember seeing the hulls on store-bought sprouts. Then again, I don't really buy sprouts. :- ( LOL.
😄😄 Actually, I notice a lot of the hulls naturally pull away from the sprouts. So when you go to remove the sprouts from your jars, you’ll notice a lot of hulls left in there and I just rinse them out and add them into the compost bin. If you do get some mixed in with your sprouts, I’ve seen a hack where you can put them in water and the hulls float to the top…. But I haven’t tried that! I don’t mind if I get a few mixed in.. I guess I’d say they’re crunchy, but so are the sprouts. 😆😆
@@LetsEatPlants THANKS!
@@kefirheals7383 You’re welcome!
Wow, this was a sign. I was just looking yesterday for sprouting kits and instructions. Great timing!!
Oh yay!! I love when that happens! 😆😆 If you have any questions just let me know!
Have you ever tried growing broccoli sprouts? I think they are the only type I would consider growing because they’re so expensive at the store and the health benefits are so great.
Yes! I bought a bag of Mumm’s (same brand as the sandwich booster in this vid) but they weren’t my favorite. 😆😆 You’re right though, the health benefits are great! If you buy them it’s the same process as shown in this vid, just double check the soaking time. (It’s probably 4-6 hours.)
@@LetsEatPlants Thanks!
I bought a sprout set just like yours! You made me so enthusiastic. I learn so much from you! 😊
Awww yay!!! We can be sprouting twins. 😝😝 Let me know how it goes! I am loving mine just for the convenience. Just started a new batch a couple days ago!
Thanks for the video Maddie. Ive been thinking about doing this for a while but you have made it look so doable and not daunting at all. I like your style!
You’re welcome, Donna! It’s so easy, once you try it for the first time you’ll love it! I was kinda scared to do it on my own at first too. 😆😆 But it really is just soak & then rinse 2x a day. The sprouts do all the work themselves!
I love in Brockville ON. Love your channel and ideas.
I have been enjoying growing jar sprouts of all varieties and micro greens for many years here is Ontario Canada. This is how I make my salad every day. They are not an addition for me, they are actually a staple. I started by using a used sauerkraut jar and a piece of nylon window screen and an elastic band. I now use jars specifically for sprouting. Seeds are also available in bulk from Mums seeds or Sproutmaster right here in Canada. 🌱💚🇨🇦
Aren’t Mumm’s just the best!? I love their seeds! I wish they were more easily accessible to the US. 😊😊 Micro greens is on my list to try! Do you use soil?
@@LetsEatPlants yes I use soil for micro greens. I use the soil from Home Depot that is the best price for the size of bag.
@@paullemay3218 Great tip, thank you! 😃
@@LetsEatPlants you are very welcome. Always happy to help. Hopefully your post and the comments here will help others to sprout more food. Happy sprouting everyone. 🌱💚🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing this awesome how to grow your own sprouts at home video Maddie. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤ Maddie & Q.
Thanks David! I’m sure you have some great tips for growing great things too! 🤗🤗🌱🌱🌱
Did you buy lentils and mung beans that are specifically for sprouting?
I didn’t, but you definitely can! I’ve read it’s recommended but I had already bought mine a year or so before and haven’t had any problems with them. 😊😊
Actually I LIVE in Brockville but I also love our area.
Hahaha.. I knew what you meant, but this clarification comment cracked me up! 😂😂 I'll have to visit Brockville one day.... looks beautiful!
I love sprouts in my sushi! Thanks for the video, Maddie! 💕
Aren’t they just the perfect crunch in there? 😍😍🤗🤗
Very curious about which sprouts need that blackout sleeve!
I find that mung bean sprouts like darkness, but I actually used the blackout sleeve for 3 days on the alfalfa blend seeds and a tea towel to cover the mung beans & lentils for 3 days because my jars were very close to the window!! If you’re in a shady part of the kitchen, you probably don’t need the blackout sleeve (except maybe mung beans which like it very dark). I’ve read the sprouts like a little light on the 4th and 5th day. 🤗🤗 I do think it’s a nice option to have though!!
Also, as I’ve grown them with and without the blackout sleeve now, I wouldn’t say I noticed much of a difference (these sprouts are just so darn easy to grow 😂) so really either way should be fine!
Usually bean sprouts used in Chinese cuisine, grown from mung beans , require darkness to keep them white in colour and to keep them from becoming bitter.
Hello , do you wash the sprouts before you put them in the refrigerator?
@@TammyPrezzy-wq4oy I don’t! They’ve been rinsed so many times through the 5 days I don’t feel the need. 🤗🤗 I also think they store better if they’re dry-ish. ☺️
LOVE THIS I NEVER KNEW THIS!!
🥰🥰 Enjoy! 🌱🌱🌱
I love growing mine!!!
Isn’t it the best!? 😃😃
Perfect timing, I just bought some seeds for sprouting Today!
Wohoo! I think you’ll love growing them. 🤗🤗
Do you just buy lentils and sprout them?
Yep! This works with black beluga lentils (that I used in this vid) or regular brown or green lentils…. Basically any whole lentils. Dried of course! I don’t believe it works with split red lentils. 🤗
I'm going to try this then. Thanks for responding. 💚🌱
@@gils1930 Awesome, enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions along the way. 🤗
You didn’t link nothing below
All the links are in the description box!!
I cannot wait to try this!
I can’t wait for you to try it as well! 😆😆 I think you’ll love how easy it is. 🤗
I’m sooo excited to get my sprouting started. My question is what about the micro greens?? Are those the same as sprouted beans??
Yes Terry! Excited for you to start! 🤩🤩 As I understand it, microgreens are usually grown in soil and take longer to harvest (around 7-14 days). I’m not sure if you could sprout them in a jar! Some varieties of microgreens are radish, arugula and kale… so I don’t think they come from beans… but someone can correct me if I’m wrong here! 😄😄
@@LetsEatPlants thanks Maddie, you are always so helpful.
@@terrygrenald8414 Any time Terry! 🤗🤗
I have been soaking my sprouts in water to get all the unsprouted seed off. But from your video it doesn’t look like I need to bother with that step.
@@wendyfilice7101 Correct! When you remove the sprouts from the jar you'll probably see quite a few hulls leftover and I just rinse those out from the jar and compost them. You definitely can soak yours to get any extra hulls off, but I haven't found it necessary! Personal preference I suppose. 😆😝
