Terrified Of Schizophrenia

sprouts & seeds

home is invaded by the sprouts!

lentils, mung beans, linseed, millet, cumin ...
I still find raw sunflower seeds because it's our favorite shoots.

we'll see what comes of it, but for now, it's pretty conclusive. And it will help bring more life and greenery in our winter diet.










Step 1 : soak the seeds to germinate overnight in a mason jar. cover with cotton cheese and close the mouth with a mason jar lid (just the thing aa metal screw or a rubber band.
Step 2: The next morning, drain the soaking water (and why not use it to water the plants!). Then rinse with fresh water. Cover with a dishtowel so that germination takes place in the dark as underground.
Step 3: Rinse in the morning and evening every day.
Step 4: When the sprouts begin to show their small leaves, remove the clothes so they have a little light. Do not get direct sunlight, indirect light is perfect.
Step 5: taste in anything. sandwioh, burger, on top of couches, on top of soup, etc. etc. etc.. The shoots can be eaten as soon as the seeds begin to emerge, but I like it leaves so I let them grow a little. They can be rinsed and put in the fridge, but mine never make it that far.

EDIT: I knew that was diffiicle millet to germinate ... inconclusive experience with this cereal. seeds have rotted and are made to feel so I frankly disgusting 've thrown. but the rest I'm fine. and lentils and mung beans are super quick to germinate
