How to make Sprouts
Sprouts are packed with nutrients. They are versatile to use. Make them easily at home and store for a week in the refrigerator.
Equipment
- vessel
- colander
- thin muslin cloth
Ingredients
- 1 cup of any grain or lentil. I have used methi and fenugreek
- water for soaking
Instructions
- Soak the grains for eight to ten hours.
- Drain the water and put them in a colander for sometime.
- In a clean muslin cloth, tie them and keep it covered in a warm place for eight to ten hours.
- Check if the grains are sprouted. Otherwise, put them back for some more time.
- Keep the sprouts in a clean container in the refrigerator. Use them within three days.
Notes
The soaked grain should be soft and edible.
Check the grain if it has sprouted. If kept for a longer period, it can turn to be slimy and not fit for use.
The soaking time and sprouting duration varies for each grain. You need to check it.
