Sprouts , are one of the most nutrient-rich, powerful, health-building foods in nature. They will help cleanse and rebuild your entire system.
Here is one method.
1. In a jar. All you need is a wide mouth jar, a rubber band , wire screen , cheesecloth, or an old clean nylon stocking and a whole seed, bean, or grain.
First , soak the seeds in plenty of water overnight. Use approximately twice the amount of water to the amount of dry seeds.
Second, drain the water from the jar through the screen or cloth, and then rinse the seeds well.
Third, turn the jar upside down at an angle; place in a bowl, pot, or wire stand;and put in a dark, temperate place.
Rinse the seeds through the screen twice daily in cool-to-mild weather, and three times in the summer. During this time , keep the jar inverted. Gently shake seeds to evenly distribute them around the walls of the jar.
Most sprouts are ready to use when they are 1/4-1/2 long. Alfalfa sprouts are best a little longer. After the third day, place the alfalfa sprouts in the sun to enhance the development of chlorophyll. (the plant's blackness!)
