Step1
Radish Sprouts on Melon Radish Sprouts on Melon There are three general varieties of sprouts: grain sprouts, green leaf sprouts and bean sprouts. They can be sprouted using many methods but this method is the easiest for small seed sprouts. One of my favorite sprouts to grow is the radish sprout. It is a bit peppery and adds a great flavor to salads, chili, etc.
Step2
plastic lid plastic lid To grow sprouts start with a wide mouth mason jar and lid with holes. You can purchase sprouting lids that come alone or in sets of three. You can also make your own with a cut out piece of plastic screening and ring or netting and a rubber band. Make sure that your jar and lid are both clean and sterile.
Step3
packaged for sprouting packaged for sprouting First, put 1 to 4 tablespoons of seed in the wide mouth jar. Cover with an appropriate lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Add 1 cup cool water and soak for 4 - 8 hrs. Use seed that has been packaged for sprouting or that you know for sure has not been treated with pesticides. Think organic.

Invert jar and prop at angle with a rolled towel or in a bowl. You can start eating them at any stage once they begin to sprout. If you wait until they start to leaf you will get the added benefit of chlorophyll in your diet.
Step5
Ta Duh! Ta Duh! In three to six days the sprouts should be about 1 to 2" long. Cover the jar with plastic and a rubber band, or transfer to a covered container, and refrigerate to store.
Step6
Tips for Success! * Rinsing: Water is key. Rinse often. * Draining: It is essential that sprouts be drained thoroughly after rinsing. Sitting in a puddle is not good. * Air Circulation: Don't lock them away. Keep out in the open. * Cleanliness: Your seed should be clean, not treated with pesticides and your sprouting device should be sterile. We are growing sprouts not a science experiment. * Storage: Properly stored, fresh sprouts will keep for up to 6 weeks in your refrigerator but fresher is better. Never refrigerate WET sprouts.
