Method:

Soak in two thirds the amount of water, for the required time stated, drain and rinse. Place in a jar and cover or allow to sit in a dark corner at room temp away from direct sunlight. Rinse and drain every 8 hrs.

When sprouting time is completed rinse and drain one last time and allow to sit in the sunlight for approx 1 hr to allow the sprouts to get green and dry out. This is due to wet soaking sprouts tend to spoil quickly.

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and enjoying them in salads, as a vegetable accompaniment, sprinkled on soups and smoothies.
