Instructions
1. Place one to two tablespoons of seeds in a preserving jar and add plenty of lukewarm/warm water. [Any glass jar is suitable, provided it is large enough (min. 1½ litres) and the neck is not (too much) narrowed.]2. Secure a plastic or fibreglass mosquito net to the jar with a strong (postman's) elastic band. Preferably do not use aluminium mosquito netting as this is sometimes treated against insects.3. After the indicated soaking time¹, drain the water, rinse the seeds, and drain the water again.4. Place the jar obliquely inverted at room temperature in a colander, rack, or tray so that the excess water can drain away. [It is important that all water can drain away; the water that remains on the sprouts is sufficient to keep the germination process going. It is also important that the seeds/sprouts do not cover the entire netting. For a good result, it is very important that there is sufficient air circulation. Therefore, after each rinse, spread the seeds/sprouts along the length of the jar.] Do not place the jar with seeds/sprouts on the heater or in direct sunlight!5. Rinse the seeds/sprouts ± 3 times a day during the indicated cultivation period², and then always place the jar obliquely inverted.6. After the very last rinse*, allow the sprouts in the jar (obliquely inverted) to dry-grow at room temperature for at least 18 hours before consuming them and/or placing them in the refrigerator. * If desired, the last rinse can be replaced by a 'washing action' to remove the husks from the sprouts:-Fill a basin or similar to the brim with lukewarm/warm water.-Put the sprouts in it and 'wash' the sprouts loose.-Skim off the husks by 'waving' them over the edge of the basin.-Scoop the sprouts out of the water by hand and put them back in the jar.-Re-attach the netting, place the jar obliquely inverted, and allow to dry-grow at room temperature for at least 18 hours. Store leftover sprouts chilled (max. 7°C) and covered (not airtight).¹ Soaking time: ± 6 hours² Cultivation period: ± 4 days
