It all started with a local purchase of Pea shoot Greens, as a snack. Dawned on me that its best and easy to grow your own, either in your own kitchen or backyard, all year round.
Here are easy steps to grow your own organic sprouts:
Purchase Organic Sprouts – I like GotSrouts company. Seeds always sprout. This time I got Wheat sprouts strictly for juicing and Pea shoots for snacking.
Zoe is trying to get into the actionPrepare supplies. Need clean trays, dirt, seeds.
Soak your sprouts in the filtered drinking waterLove this cap for easy water drainingRince twice per day for 24 to 48 hoursDrain the soaking water out and rinse all the water outSprinkle on top of 2 inches of organic dirt. Cover the dirt without overlappingPour seeds in, evenly. Fun part is to get your hands dirty 🙂Water and put a heavy tray of dirt on top of wheat sprouts. They need pressure to germinate, keeps them moist. Treat them as they are underground.Pea seeds planted and placed on top of wheat trayGerminating sprouts
Wheat sprouts weighed by Pea SproutsPea sproutsGrowing and tilting towards the light.
Wheatgrass pushed out the top tray. Take it off and set it aside. Keep watering daily.
5 days later cut to Juice-when you see a second blade coming up in each sprout
Cut Sprouts last for weeks in the Fridge

Lovely, That is a lot of sprouts 😀 I often do a small jar of mustard and radish seeds on the window sill to add to salads, I have to confess never seen on this scale as you have done.. 🙂
Hope the start of your new year is going well Luda.
Take care Sue xx
Isn’t it the most rewarding thing to plant something and watch it grow. I miss my garden. I loved putting the little seeds in, and get so excited when the sprouts popping out. It just amazes me. :):)
logistics. I am not at my home for almost 4 days a week some weeks, and as you know growing things requires attention. But this will only last for a couple of more years, and I will be able to plant another garden :):)
LOVE this post, even though I think eating sprouts is cruel. I mean – they haven’t even had a chance to live! So young. Too young to die.
Hope you’re having a great day. 🙂

Hi Robert, Your reply is food for thought 🙂 Yes its sad to eat living matter, but perhaps its better then consuming animals. I am still contemplating the whole concept of plants and early life span. Thank you for your input.
Yeah, my wife just takes the straightforward approach and tells me that I’m being silly before tucking in to her (insanely young) meal. 🙂
And for sure – no animals.
Perhaps, in the future, we will only eat cabbages that have been certified to have died a natural death. 🙂

Every week once or twice we eat sprouted beans (of different kinds). It takes two days to germinate. But I shall try your method in summer for sure.
