I have been making some DIY Alfalfa Sprout Kits to sell at a little market on the weekend. We have been making them for years. So very, very easy to do. You can make your own with a jar, a rubber band & a stocking if you are interested. I have used tulle as I think it works better. You can buy seeds from your local health food store. 1 tablespoon of seeds makes about 1/2 a cup of sprouts. My kids call them "worms" & they'll only eat them when we've made them ourselves.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put alfalfa seeds into the jar and cover them with 1-2cm of cool water.
2. Cover the top of the jar with the tulle and secure with rubber band.
3. Allow seeds to soak overnight, then drain off the water.
For the next few days, rinse the seeds in the morning and evening by covering the seeds with some water, swishing the seeds around, and draining them. Store the jar away from direct sunlight.
Repeat until sprouts are ready to eat. Usually 4-6 days depending on season. Your sprouts should last at least 2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
