We gave participants in the class the option of purchasing a Sprouting Kit shown below.
The cloth bag was included so that it could be slipped over the jar for those sprouts that like to be grown without light. This way the jar can still be kept out on the counter where it will be seen and remind you to rinse more often :) A single layer of fabric mesh screen is placed over the top of the jar and secured using the metal band. The additional screen was included for use as a replacement screen.
A basic sprouting guide can be downloaded HERE. This includes a step by step guide on how to grow sprouts in a jar and how to grow sprouts in a tray. It also includes a few recipes and some ideas for using sprouts for those of us that don't know quite where to begin. More recipes from our class (Soft Spring Rolls and Bean Sprout Salad) can be found HERE.
SproutPeople's website is a great resource for details on how to sprout specific types of seeds and beans. Go to their website HERE, scroll down, and click on the type of sprout you want more information on. When the next web page comes up, click on the name of the individual sprout you are looking for. This will give you information on how much to sprout at a time, method to use, length of time, and even some nutritional information on each sprout type.
