HOW TO MAKE SPROUTS
Sprouts can be made with any kind of seed but the most delicious are mung beans and aduki beans. To make your own sprouts, take a large glass jar, a rubber band, your beans and a piece of chux, cheesecloth or muslin big enough to cover the opening of the jar.
Put your beans in the jar. Cover the opening of the jar with the fabric in a single layer. Place the rubber band around the lip of the jar, over the cloth to hold it on. You should now have a contraption that looks a little bit like a drum.
Put the jar under the tap and run cold water through the cloth until the water is about half way up the jar. Swill it around a little and then turn the jar upside down to empty out the water. When the jar is empty and your beans are rinsed, put the jar in a dark place (I put mine under the sink). Leave for 24 hours and then rinse the beans again. Keep repeating this step every day for 4 or 5 days and you should have a beautiful jar full of fresh and delicious sprouts that you can sprinkle over soup, add to stir-fries and top salad with. VERY easy to do this at home.
