Sprouting recipe:

For sprouting use a combination of alfalfa, red clover, fenugreek, radish, or any other sprouting seed. You can also sprout nuts and beans but for this recipe we are looking for phytonutrient greens.

You can use sprouting trays but the easiest way to spray is to get a metal sprouting screen, a plastic top, and a 32 oz. Ball Jar.

Add 2 tablespoons of sprouting seeds to ball jar.

Fill jar with Filtered water and let sit for 8 hours or overnight.

Strain the water and let jar sit upside down in a bowl.

Cover with a cloth and keep out of the sun.

For 5 days add water and strain really well and put jar back in the bowl.

On the 6th day let it sit out uncovered in the sun so the sprouts can green up.

Do not add water on the 6th day so the sprouts can dry out a bit.

In the evening pull sprouts out of the jar, put in a container, and store in the fridge to be eaten within 5 days.
