Grow sprouts
in a jar.

A simple rinse-and-drain routine for your jar sprouter.

Jar Sprouts Growing Kit

Use the guide supplied with your current kit and seed variety if it differs from these instructions.

  1. Prepare and soak

    Wash 1–2 tablespoons of your chosen sprouting seeds and place them in a clean wide-mouth jar. The seeds should take up no more than about a quarter of the jar, allowing room to expand. Cover with about 2 inches of water. The jar guide suggests soaking for 6–8 hours; follow your seed variety’s directions if they differ.

  2. Drain the soaking water

    Fit the sprouting lid and tip the jar over the sink until the water has drained.

  3. Rinse and drain

    Rinse with fresh water and drain thoroughly. Follow your seed and kit directions for frequency; the jar routine uses rinsing 2–3 times daily.

  4. Rest at an angle

    Place the jar at an angle on its stand so excess water can drain into the drip tray. Keep the growing area clean and well ventilated.

  5. Harvest and store

    Harvest at the stage recommended for your seed variety, often in about 3–7 days. Drain well and refrigerate promptly. Discard crops with unusual odor, slime or suspected mold.

A SMALL START. A FRESH EVERYDAY.
