How To Grow Bean Sprouts

Here’s a great idea for cutting grocery costs, grow your own bean sprouts just using a jar and lid–no garden space required, you can grow these in your kitchen! Here’s a video tutorial I found that shows how easy it is:

• You can grow sprouts in your kitchen using lentils, a large jar and a lid with a screen that you can buy at a health food store. I’m sure you could also use a scrap of cheesecloth over the mouth of the jar and a ring screwed on over top (or use a thick rubber band to secure the cloth).
• Pour some of the beans into the jar (about 1/2 cup), put the lid on top then cover the lentils with water (use at least 4 times the amount of water than lentils).
• Leave overnight to soak.
• The next day, pour the water off and leave the jar upside down to drain all the water out.
• Rinse the beans in the jar daily, drain very well, lay the jar on its side with the beans evenly distributed along the jar.
• In about 4 days you’ll be able to eat them (wait until the sprout is about as long as the bean).

I didn’t realize how easy it was to grow these, and the tools and space needed are so basic that anyone can afford to grow as many sprouts as they want!
