Let's get started.

Before You Start

Before you begin, make sure your sprouting jar and hands are clean.

Different seed varieties expand at different rates during germination. Using the correct amount of seeds helps ensure good airflow, healthy growth and consistent results.

Step 1 · Soak

Add the recommended amount of seeds to your sprouting jar.

Cover the seeds with fresh drinking water until they are fully submerged and leave them to soak for 8–12 hours, or overnight.

Step 2 · Drain

Drain the soaking water completely.

Place the jar upside down at an angle to allow any remaining water to drain while maintaining good airflow.

Step 3 · Rinse

Rinse the sprouts thoroughly with fresh drinking water once or twice a day.

Drain well after each rinse before returning the jar to its draining position.

Repeat this process daily until your sprouts are ready to harvest.

Step 4 · Harvest & Enjoy

Most sprouts are ready to harvest within 2–10 days, depending on the variety.

Give them a final rinse, allow them to drain well, then enjoy them fresh in salads, sandwiches, wraps or your favourite meals.

Store harvested sprouts in the refrigerator and enjoy them within a few days for the best flavour and freshness.

Helpful Tips

• Use fresh drinking water for soaking and rinsing.

• Always drain the jar thoroughly after each rinse.

• Keep your sprouting jar out of direct sunlight.

• Good airflow is essential for healthy sprout growth.

• Rinse consistently every day for the best results.

• If your sprouts develop an unpleasant smell or show signs of mould, discard them and start a fresh batch.
