~ sprouts ~

these are on my counter right now

mung bean sprouts
{fresher than any you will find in a store}

and

sprouted almonds

{they don't grow a sprout, but they are succulent & sweet}

i also like to sprout chick peas

basic sprouting directions:

soak dried beans or raw nuts overnight.

drain in the morning,

then rinse & drain a few times each day.

sprouts need to be kept moist, 

but with good drainage.

i keep mine in a covered colander.

and here's a shaky little video from today
