[ MAKE YOUR OWN SPROUTER]

All you need is a wide-mouthed glass jar, cheesecloth (or new kitchen cloth) and a rubber band.

• Soak whatever you want to sprout in water in the jar overnight, or for 24–36 hours for bigger seeds.

• Place seeds in a sieve and rinse under running water. Return the sprouts to the rinsed and drained bottle, cover with the cloth and secure with an elastic band.

• Keep the jar slightly tilted to get rid of excess water, otherwise sprouts will rot and go sour. Keep the jar out of direct sunlight at room temperature.

• Rinse again every morning and evening for 2–5 days. • When the sprouts are ready to eat, rinse and drain them one last time and allow to air-dry. They can be stored in a container or plastic bag in the fridge for up to 5 days.
