Sprouting instructions, this is not the only way to do sprouts, everyone will
acquire their own sprouting techniques, but here are the basics: Set your
sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is
optimal) between Rinses.
· This is where your sprouts do their growing. A counter top or top of a
refrigerator is perfect. Sprouts don’t mind the indirect sunlight or the 150
watts of incandescent light, because light just does not matter much. Your
sprouts will never have leaves, and a plant can only perform photosynthesis
when it has leaves. Until then light has little if any effect, so don’t hide
your sprouts. Plus, they like air-circulation. First, soak seeds for 4-6
hours. Empty water and rinse.
· Rinse and Drain again in 12 hours. And, once more, rinse and Drain every12
hours until the sprouts are the size that you desire. Most of the seeds will
have sprouted tiny (1/16 – 1/4 inch) roots after 2 or 3 days. After 4-6 days,
leaves start to emerge. Depending on your climate and the time of year you are
sprouting and most importantly your personal preference – You may Rinse and
Drain again at 12 hour intervals for up to 6 days.
