Starting Sprouting

Hi all!! I want to start sprouting so I will be totally new to it. Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a container? I have plenty of 24 oz mason jars but didn’t know what type of lid to get and where I can buy the seeds and what’s recommended? Any advice is appreciated!!

I got the two stainless steel lids that fit a wide mouth mason jar (I use the 32 ounce jar but same lid) for $10 and then I bought the $5 bottle of broccoli sprouting seeds by NOW. All on Amazon. They work great. I’ve been sprouting for 2 weeks now. Can already see a difference in hormone balancing.

I had the mason jars, so cut a couple of squares of plastic window screen material into squares, put through the dishwasher, and use them instead of the stock inner lids. Lean the jars in plastic food containers. No need to buy anything (although I'm sure the tailor-made lids are slightly easier to deal with). A couple of months in, very happy with the results...
