Sprouting My Own Sprouts

[badjak]

I soak in day light, then drain, rinse and from then on the jars are covered in a tea towel or big hand kerchief

Those are pricey!

Wow. They certainly are.
I have a small half full small bucket of them from a while back still good to grow.

I came across this site, with results for alfalfa Search: 27 results found for "Alfalfa"
They use them in smoothies....

California rolls look good! Might give those a try.

Had a big wadge on a sandwich last night. Always good.

Tempura might work too

I'm pretty sure there are a few Indian recipes for sprouted beans/dal. I'll have to look them up.

I putine in a black plastic bag with the end open. Read somewhere they grow better in the dark. That makes sense since when they're sprouting they're in the ground.

I've never done that although I've read that's how it's done, but mine in the past turned out fine.

I've no idea but I did the last batch out on the counter so I'll see.

It is done to prevent the sprouts from going green and they will stretch more in the dark

It's not my first time doing this, I've been sprouting since the 1980s

I made some alfalfa sprout tempura - not good. Because they're delicate (like some people might know) the outer sprouts almost burn before the rest of the batter cooks properly. Will use the rest of the batter for onion rings

Found an interesting bean sprout recipe in Fuchsia Dunlop's Food of Sichuan - mung bean sprouts but lentil might work too
