It's only taken me five years to finally do this. I tried at one point and everything moulded so I gave up but... this raw mama is trying again!
I pulled out my new sprouter today - put in some seeds... watered it and we'll get some yummy sprouts growing to add to fruit salads and green salads... or to eat as a yummy snack.
Can't wait!!!
No more buying sprouts for me. Fresh is best!!!

We use glass quart jars but if I can do it so can you! I usually kill plants but the sprouts have been very easy. Nothing like fresh alfalfa sprouts, I absolutely love them. :)

I heard that it can be more tricky to sprout in more humid climates and we are very humid here... that said... I HAVE SPROUTS!!! My sunflower seeds have little sprouts on many of them.
*dancing around* Oh ya... I can do this!!!Timeless Spirit Magazine

I working on doing micro green sprout. I don't have a green thumb but i will keep trying too. I haven't sprout for a while. I can do the chick peas and lentil no problem and some grains, but the tiny seeds are trickier for me.
Congratulations!Blessings and love
