----  You can purchase a sprouting jar (available at most health food
stores) or you can make your own. To make your own get a 1/2 gallon
clear glass container. Be sure to wash it out well. Cover the mouth
with a fine screen and use a rubber band to keep it on. That's it.
Really though, the purchased jars are inexpensive and are made just
for the purpose.  ** How to sprout seeds  1.) Place measured amount of
seed, beans, or grain into sprouting  jar. Add water and soak overnight
following chart recommendations  below.  2.)  Pour off soak water and
place jar mouth down at 45 degree angle  for drainage and ventilation
between rinsings, then rinse twice a day  with fresh cool water.  3.)
After sprouts have matured (see chart below) place them in a  bowl of
water. Seed hulls will float to the top and dprouts will  sink. Skim
hulls off with your hand and discard them. Gently remove  sprouts from
bowl and drip drain before storing them in a glass or  plastic (closed)
container or bag in the refridgerator.  4.)  Place Alfalfa, Mustard,
Cabbage, Clover, and Radish in indirect  light for two days before
harvesting to develop chlorophyll. Use the  sprouts in preparing your
next meal, in salads and sandwiches.  ** Sprouting tip  The ideal
sprouting temperature is between 65~ and 75~. Sprouts grow  best in
darkness or indirect light. When sprouted too long some seeds  and
beans may become bitter. Grains become sweeter on the fourth and  fifth
day of sprouting. Start new seeds every 3 days for a continuous  suppy.
