Sprouts

I put a note recently on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/fresh_in_london/) about the benefits of sprouts and I wanted to spread the love of how I’ve done these ones!

What you need:

  • 1 glass jar

  • 1 cheesecloth/muslin/clean nylon tights cut to fit

  • 1 rubber band

  • 1 part dried lentils/sunflower seeds

  • 3 parts water

Soak the lentils in the jars for 8 hours, or overnight (if you’re doing sunflower seeds these only take 2 hours).

Rinse them using a sieve and shake off excess water.

Transfer back to jars, cover with cloth and fix using rubber band.

Set them in a light place away from direct sunlight. Drain and rinse them 2x per day.

They are ready when the tail is as long as the seed and will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
