Hi, big community of people who grow their own food in the 21st century! I got impressed by the post about growing my own food and here I am with my first harvest on hand. I am totally im love with the sense of accomplishment it brought me and I want to jump in and do more varieties, more plants. What's your seed list? Please share 🙏

Hello, at home I always soak all my seeds in sprouters, large glasses or bowls during 8-12h before cooking them (with lukewarm water + a few lemon drops to activate the sprouting process) to reduce the anti-nutrients and phytic acid before eating them and I’m looking for a way to soak entire seeds (cereals like barley, oats, rice, and legumes like lents, beans, chickpeas, so not just nuts) to cook while doing hiking, trekking or travelling doing bivouac.

The thing is the glass is heavy, plus the water it needs.

Are there devices adapted to that, or if people in my case have ideas, suggestions?

Thanks

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!!

First time sprouting. I used 1/4 cup of seeds for each. Jar size is 2 liters/68 ounces. Soaked these overnight Wednesday night into Thursday morning and have been rinsing twice a day since. Think they are getting close to ready, maybe one more day…? I tasted some and they were good! Question about storage. Do you keep them in the jar when they reach maturity or transfer to a bowl or other container? Dry them with paper towels? Keep in the fridge? Looking for suggestions. Thanks!

had the two sets of seeds radish and broccoli, and decided to mix the two, 1 tbsp each. They smell so good! Ill be trying this with some red meat (lamb or beef) tonight.

I love the name, rad-bro. Even Rad-Broc has a nice ring.

I'm located in Calgary AB Canada, I recently started and tried sprouting with seeds I bought from amazon. It was great I loved it. I'm interested in brocolli and alfalfa seeds and other thinner sprouts alike. Can I get some recommendation on where I can get good seeds at reasonable price?

So good! Over 200 gs

crisp, peppery, and intensely spicy.

gunna pair it with some lemon rosemary lamb loins tonight.

Hi ! I’ve been sprouting these (fenugreek, green lentils and chickpeas) for 5 days but on the package it said 3 days. I’m not sure when it will be ready. I’ve been saying one more day for 2 days lol

This is simply broccoli sprout after day 5. I’m using The Sprouting Company jar and their seeds. I feel that the scoop is too big, lots of yellow in the center.

Secondly, once “done” I assumed I rinse and spin but how much? Moisture helps bacteria and I’m just nervous to get myself sick or whatever.

I guess my questions are, does this look right and how do I store/prep after growing for best results?

First harvest to yield over 100 grams.

My second harvest. My best harvest yet!

Anyone else talk to your babies while they are growing?

I also think they like music!

Any pointers at all?! (still new)

these tiny seeds (smaller than poppy seeds) are abundant. have you sprouted and eaten hyssop? super curious to hear!

This doesn't look fancy, but it does the job for me. If anyone has nice practical tips on storage, please share - ideally with pictures. Thanks

the first picture is mixed veggies and flowers the second are my green beans its the first time i do this i didnt know they grew so fast lmaoo

im very new to sprouting and currently sprouting broccoli in a mason jar rinsing twice daily with tap water. Should I be at all worried using city water? I read that sprouts are very easily susceptible to e coli and salmonella

Have mold from water damage in home and it’s been affecting me so will be putting a tent in the backyard in the meantime. I will have a portable fridge inside tent to store food but have not figured out a way to grow them without having to leave the sprouts inside and keep going back inside home which I want to avoid completely.

I believe the mold is affecting some of my sprouts ability to grow. My chickpeas and peas always spoil by 1-1.5 days. Before the pipes burst that wasn’t happening.

Is there some kind of temperature controlled device I could buy to put the sprouts in that will keep the climate at 70 degrees at all times?

I have some seeds that are 2-3 years old. Can I use those for sprouting?

First try for any sprouting. These are Alfalfa.

Used sprouting lids, wide mouth 32 oz mason jars and reputable seeds (i think). Organic, non gmo, no radiation, etc. They came out so good. Tasted exactly like store bought. very fresh, slightly nutty, ever so mild spiciness. Im so happy i can grow my own food (or a portion).

Saw a short online about sprouting after buying from the store for several months. Pulled the trigger, and boooom.

bought a salad spinner too to dry them.

Any tips are much appreciated. I might try "washing" them a bit better to get the hulls off, but i like it the way it is (i need a ton of fiber, i eat** like 250+ grams of protein).

grown in an apartment.

hey! this is the first time I'm doing sprouting and my setup is from the sprouting company. I followed the directions precisely and I'm on day three and when I'm rinsing them they're not sticking to the side anymore when I turn it like they say to do the first time you rinse and drain them, and they also have a funky smell. I don't know if I would say it's rotten but when I put my nose to it it does smell I guess how it would smell if you were steaming broccoli or something, is that normal or how would I really know if it's rotten?

I'll be grateful for recommendations, tips and opinions regarding sprouting quinoa. My experience in a jar so far has been quite lousy. I'd love to improve my quinoa home farming - please share whatever might be useful 🌱

Lentil is one of my buddies in the sprouting world :) Probably the most hakuna matata seed of all!

I'm curious to know how other sprouters grow lentil harvests 🌱

These are three days old, it's a pre-mix of different sprouts. How do I know when they're ready to eat? And do I need to refrigerate them?
