- Prepare a container with drainage holes - eg supermarket grape/fruit punnets
- Line the bottom of the container with a layer or two or (bleach-free) kitchen roll or similar
- Soak seeds in a glass of water for a few hours
- Soak the kitchen roll in the container with water and pour off any excess
- Scatter the seeds over the kitchen roll and gently press them down to get a good contact
- Cover the seeds and the kitchen roll with a with a layer of wet newspaper
- Place the container on a sunny draught-free window sill
- Water once per day on top of the newspaper
- After 2-4 days the sprouts will begin pushing up the newspaper - remove the newspaper
- Harvest with scissors when sprouts are 4-8cms
- Soak seeds in water for approx 12 hours
- Drain in a sieve and rinse with cold water
- Transfer seeds to a sprouting vessel - these can be purchased, but can easily be made from recycled glass or plastic jars with lids or gauze
- If using lids on the jars needs, the lid needs to have lots of small holes to allow water to drain but not allow the seeds to fall through
- I find some gauze secured with elastic bands works perfectly well
- Place in a cool dark place (eg larder or kitchen cupboard) for 48 hours
- During this period, rinse the seeds and drain 3 times a day
- Sprouting seeds should be visible from day 2
- Once the sprouts are 2-2.5cm long bring the jar into some nice indirect light
- After about 12 hours the seeds should take on a lovely green colour
- Rinse the seeds, drain and then harvest
- Sprouts can be dried off before storing in containers using a spinner or a paper towel
