SPROUTING
http://www.simplyprepared.com/sprouting.htm

Sprouting can be done without any specially purchased equipment. All that is needed is a wide mouth quart jar; a piece of nylon tulle, cheesecloth, or nylon stocking; and a canning jar ring or a rubber band.

Grains, beans, and seeds can all be sprouted. They can be used in soups, stews, casseroles, salads, sandwiches, bread, pancakes, omelets, granola, and as snacks. They can be stirred into yogurt, cooked cereal, and sandwich fillings or used anywhere that lettuce is used. Sprouted grains, beans, and seeds (all referred to, hereafter, as seeds) all cook faster than the unsprouted seed.

To sprout:

Sprouts are great to eat for everyday living and especially so in an emergency situation. Typical foods set aside for storage are traditionally low or nonexistent in vitamin C and many of the B vitamins. Yet it is exciting to know the seeds from those same storage foods can be sprouted to give a rich source of these important nutrients. Sprouts are an excellent source of vitamin C and also contain many good B vitamins. And you probably won’t find a less expensive way to get these vitamins than from low calorie sprouts. Green leafy sprouts are also a good source of vitamin A. Sprouts are a good source of fiber, protein, and contain enzymes that aid digestion. In addition, sprouting destroys the seed’s natural preservative enzymes that inhibit digestion.

Different kinds of seeds you can sprout: (This list gives the popularly sprouted seeds and is not all enclusive as you can sprout almost any kind of seed.) --- Continued at link, above, pages 71-72 ---

Growing Sprouts
http://www.i4at.org/lib2/sprouts.htm

If you're new to eating sprouts, don't make too much at first. Once you get the hang of it, you can start another jar three days after you start the first jar. The next jars will be ready after you finish eating the first batch.
The most important point: when you strain seeds, make sure that they're really strained. Sprouting is remarkable; all you need are the seeds and water. But add too much water and the seeds may rot. Nevertheless, it's pretty difficult to make the seeds rot, as long as you follow the steps carefully. --- CONTINUED at LINK, above ---

Sprouts-How to Grow

Nature's Fast Food
http://simple-green-frugal-co-op.blogspot.com/2009/01/natures-fast-food.html

by Julie at Towards Sustainability

Do you want to grow your own nutritious, fresh greens but just don't have the room to spare?

Would you like to grow greens which don't require either soil or direct sunlight, and can be grown year 'round regardless of the weather?

Would you like to harvest them only 3 to 7 days after sowing?

Sprouts are your answer.

Weight for weight, sprouts are some of the most nutritious foods available: they are loaded with vitamins and minerals, they provide fiber and protein, and are easily digestible. This is because seeds contain all the energy and nutrients required to grow a new plant and when they germinate, these nutrients become available to us when we eat them.

Even better, they are quick and very easy to grow at home yourself, with minimal room and minimal effort. So easy in fact, that all kids should grow their own!

Many seeds can be sprouted, the most common include ... --- CONTINUED at LINK, above ---

Sprouting 101
https://www.sunoven.com/archives/13111/

If you are craving some green, crunchy plants in your diet, or have kids that need a science project, consider sprouting some seeds.

Seeds are dormant baby plants sleeping inside connected to their food supply. To be classified as living, this dormancy must end in order for new life to begin. In nature, this seed will grow into a plant, which will make more seeds and the circle of life continues. In just a few days and in less than a square foot of counter space, you can grow tasty miniature plants – components of salads, snacks, sandwiches and stir-fries. Sprouting can be done year round, no need to wait for spring. Eat them after 3-4 days as sprouts or after 3-4 weeks as microgreens. ---CONTINUED---
