How to Grow Micro Sprouts

Did you know that you can grow your own Micro Sprouts in your very own home? Microgreens are easy to grow and mature rapidly, often within 7-21 days.

Ingredients

  • Sprout Seeds

Instructions

  • I love this sprout kits all because they provided 2 large mason jars with a mesh netting lid so the water from rinsing daily could slowly drain out. This ensured that the container prevented growing mold or disease when sprouting.
  • Some seeds benefit from pre-soaking for a few hours to overnight to improve germination rates. Check seed packets for specific recommendations. We soaked overnight. The next morning, I rinsed out and drained the excess water.
  • Gently roll the jar so the seed will stick to the sides. By day 3 you see your seeds really starting to sprout.
  • Remember to rinse every morning and night.
  • Keep the growing environment between 60-75°F.
  • Once the seeds have germinated and started to grow, move them to a well-lit location. A sunny windowsill or fluorescent grow lights.
  • Store any unused microgreens in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • By day 7 my mason jar was packed with beautiful micro greens.
