    Timing

    Sprouting seeds sprout quickly and are ready for harvest usually within a week from first rinsing them. Grow only as many as you can reasonably eat within a given freshness period. Try staggering your sowing to get a long, continuous harvest. Sprouts can be grown at any time of the year.

    Starting

    The quantity of seeds to use depends on the size of the seeds in question as well as the size of your sprouter. Usually one tablespoon is ample. You will give these seeds an initial rinse in clean water, to wash away any dust or debris. After that, we recommend that you rinse your sprouts 3 times daily. It may be helpful to place your sprouter some place very central, like on a kitchen island, so that you will see it in the morning, when you come home from school or work, and again in the evening. Every time you rinse, you allow the sprouts to drain so they are not sitting in a pool of water.

    Harvest

    Once the first pair of leaves (the cotyledon or seed leaves) have opened, the sprouts are ready. Many sprout growers like to expose sprouts at this stage to bright, indirect sunlight, which causes chlorophyll to develop. The leaves will turn a much darker green color, which may enhance the nutrition of the sprouts.

    When the sprouts reach this stage they are ready for eating. Wash them energetically under cold water to loosen and discard any seed husks. They can then be used fresh or kept in the refrigerator for three or four days.
