This is my first time sprouting sunflower seeds. I did so in a mason jar on the counter with a mesh lid upside down with ventilation. I let them grow for about 8ish days. Is the browning at the ends normal? What about the black spots? I’m wondering if that’s mold, or the black part of the shell rubbing off.

I want to order broocoli sprouts in india but I cannot find any cheaper ones

I am currently sprouting popcorns. They all have roots now, Some of them also have stems. I wanted to taste one of the sprouts. It was sweet, but not in a sugar way, in a stevia way. Is it normal?

Has anyone ever put sautéed protein sprouts on a gluten free cheese pizza? I feel like it wouldn’t be bad! The only thing I can find is roasted Brussel sprouts on pizza 🙄.

I bought a fancy lentil pack and I’m not sure whether I should give it a try as most of my prior supermarket trials did not work out. I don’t know whether they were radiation treated or something else, but most legumes from an ordinary supermarket are not willing to sprout. That was my experience in the US, now in Europe I decided to give it another try. Let’s see.
How was your experience with sprouting unspecialised seeds meant for regular cooking?

First time trying sprouts and woke up to a fuzzy jar. Is it mold?

Hi!

u/Spiceshunter liked my ideas a lot, and felt that i should put up a post on this. Thank you buddy.

As my name suggests, I am pretty much a 'gypsy'. I travel as a backpacker quite a lot. And here a few things I do to ensure that I can enjoy sprouts every day, regardless of where i am

I shall be glad if my suggestions come in handy.

a) I purchase Red Lentils, Horse Gram, and Moong by the kg, but get them packed in packets of 200 grams each. This a 1 day meal for me, once sprouted.

Red Lentils double in weight after being soaked for 8 hours, and Triple in weight after another 12-16 hours once sprouted. This is what makes them a very convenient diet to carry and produce even as one travels.

b) I carry the following utensils, 1) 1 litre Plastic Container with a lid, for Soaking, 2) 1 Steel vessel for sprouting/eating, 3) 1 large sized cotton cloth, very thin, for sprouting the red lentils. 4) 2 Spoons, 5) Spices powders in a small plastic container

c) At any given point of time, I have Red Lentils being soaked, Being sprouted, being boiled for consumption. This cycle continues.

d) On the day that I have to travel, I already have got 1 kg ready sprouts, which I carry separately for consumption during my journey. This continues for 1-2 days.

e) When I reach my destination, I fill drinking water in the plastic container, and put 200 gms of Red Lentils for Soaking. By morning, I strain out the water and put them in a cloth for sprouting.

f) next day I repeat the process. If I get a cooking facility, I boil the sprouts, else I eat them raw with spices and salt.

This cycle continues.

I feel so comfortable. I am not dependent on road side eateries, or expensive airport / railway station/ bus station restaurants. I carry my own kitchen. And it weighs not more than 2-3 kgs at any given time.

My best wishes to you all :)) I appreciate your effort to remain healthy and safe.

I know that sprouts are not so much about tea and drinks :) yet I felt it was worth sharing with you, fam. We love sprouts 🌱 and they are good for tea, too 😎☕️

Grown in a half gallon jar 🫙

Some fenugreek seeds still float after a full soak. Should I discard them as non-viable, or keep them? Does floating actually tell us anything reliable about germination?

I want to try growing sprouts

I have jars and a few screen lids

Can I start with any dried beans, or do I need to get some special growing kind?

I eat only sprouted lentils. Why? I've got digestion issues and unsprouted lentil is not my product at all, I'm sensitive to gas-producing oligosaccharides, phytates, and enzyme-demanding food. Sprouted lentil is a whole another story for my stomach : easy to digest, nourishing, crunchy and delicious 😁💚

One of the most beautiful harvests I've ever had! Just a perfect batch! How do you usually eat mung bean sprouts?
