Sprouting Jar Lid

Grow your own organic sprouts, cost-effectively and conveniently, with this wire mesh sprouting lid. The lid fits most standard preserving jars.

Soak your organic sprouting seeds in water for 4 to 8 hours in a dark place such as the pantry, then tip the water off and stand the jar upside down on an angle in a sunny area with a container or dish under it to catch any further water as it drains away. Then just rinse and strain the seeds twice a day in summer, morning and night, and once a day in winter. The sprouted seeds will be ready to eat in 2 to 3 days. Once they are ready to eat you can either let them continue to grow and just use a fork to remove some from the jar as required, or place them in an airtight container with a folded paper towel at the bottom of it and store in the fridge. However, the longer they get to grow for the greener they get.
