Sprouts

grow your own sprouts in your kitchen cabinet :)

lots of information out there about how to do this but here are my simple instructions:

using a pint size wide mouth jar and a lid similar to the one shown in the above wikipedia article but without the thing that allows the jar to continue draining on its side...

I use a tablespoon of the seeds - (I'm using a mixed blend of seeds I bought at a health food store).  Dump those in the jar and add water to cover.  Allow to soak overnight, sitting on the counter.  The next day drain off the water and dry off the jar and set it in the kitchen cabinet.  Every day take the jar out of the cabinet, fill with water, swirl it around and drain the water again.  Dry off the jar and place it back in the cabinet.  When sprouts are fully sprouted (~4-5 days) move them to the fridge (in a baggie, or tupperware like container - whatever), clean your jar and start some more lol.
