I had some nylon mesh screen left over from repairing a screen door and it worked Great for the tiny seeds!

[@brandothecatmeow]

I used cheese cloth. Works great, too.

[@denise4263]

I was wondering if nylon screen would work, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

[@lazyroo6734]

I did the same thanks for the Amazing tip

[@TSunshineful]

A clean nylon (like the stockings kind) is great for a filter. Just one can make plenty for your jars. Water drains easily and even tiny seeds don't get thru. On a side note, I start a jar everyday and always have one ready to eat. I only use a tablespoon of seeds.

[@beads4breakfast379]

That's a great idea. I was wondering if cheesecloth would work too

[@B3l0v3d05]

Can you link the kind you use in here?

[@blueconversechucks]

Great! I'm gonna do this. By the way, you can take a few of the sprouts, stick them in the soil and grow a plant too.

[@lghammer778]

Awesome, visited a naturopathic doctor that told me I should try this! Amazing tutorial video, I love sprouts 🌱 ❤️

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I have Alfalfa, Crimson Clover, and Sunflower seeds in the works right now. I use plastic containers that are left over from Sour Cream and other foods, cut a hole in the middle of the top and place some tulle type mesh inside. When I snap the lids on it stays taught and works perfectly for draining.

[@alexisjames5894]

Is it ok for people to eat crimson clover sprouts or are these for animals pls?

wow this video has so much to it. This is great for people who want to grow their food or part of y but don't have a garden. Please make more of this. This is the ultimate solution for being healthy and doing something productive without many resources. This video is tottaly practical and useful.

[@lilstager07]

I have been doing this for 2 years now . it is very easy :) . it's really nice to watch them sprout every day

[@kerby132]

love mustard and radish sprouts never thought to add broccol into it. I'm so happy right now because I just harvested my potatoes today.

[@pamelapacific943]

Broccoli sprouts are very nutritious!

[@sandrastreifel6452]

That plastic needlepoint mesh you use for sprouting lids, works great to keep soil inside the bottom holes of plant pots, too!

[@MIgardener]

Rock on Kim! Those greens look amazing and very professional. Keep it up! :D

[@CaliKim29]

Thanks, Luke. Really enjoying the crunch of these bean/pea sprouts our soups and sandwiches! Happy Holidays to you and Mrs. MI and Geneva!

THANK YOU!!! I'm sprouting mung beans for the very first time. 🙂 Blessings and greetings from Chicago. 🙋

[@kimcarlton4635]

Thank you!! 😊This video is just what I needed. I’m excited to get started!

[@honoragee188]

Thank you. Very informative video. I used to sprout seeds years ago, but am just getting back into it. Your video has confirmed that I am on track.

[@111Phoenix777]

I'm just getting started and quickly found out less is best. 1/8 cup of seeds per quart size jar is plenty. They grow and grow and grow!!! I got a little overambitious my first outing trying to sprout 1/2 cup in one quart jar, and quickly found myself splitting it to more and more jars, and eventually wound up freezing and then eventually throwing out about half of it. 1/8 cup per quart jar is plenty.

[@mw6346]

Wow this was such a great video! I have never attempted anything like this but now I feel confident I can do it. Also, thank you for showing us how to do it without buying all this odds an ends they try to sale you. I'm so glad I found this video before I spent a bunch of money on pointless junk I don't need.

[@barbaraharris7004]

For the mesh top I use the fine mesh that my pack of three garlic bulbs come in , put over jar put elastic band or hair band to keep in place.

[@rudranshgolhani4678]

it is such a typical process, here is the better one - soak some seeds for the whole day, take a piece of wet cloth and put the seeds in it before sleeping, now tie it to a proper ventilated place, the next morning u will have a nice bunch of sprouts :)

[@amybethhurst]

Didn't work, tried it.

[@ronbonick4265]

Well it seems the sprouts are really keeping you looking healthy !!! wowza

[@karamarie6781]

[@gizmohawaii]

Broccoli Sprouts are my favorite, it's been sometime since I've sprouted them ......... thanks for the inspiration !

[@Toddster81]

Have not tried the jars yet. I use the 10 x 20 plastic trays with potting soil growing broccoli sprouts. I then freeze them after harvest. So easy.

[@CombatDoc54]

Awesome video, was so excited when I saw this as I have everything here at home right now to do this!! Even the mesh. Have lots of seed left from last year so going to get started on this tonight. Hint for smaller seeds. Since the mesh fits snugly in the jar's ring, I just cut out an extra one for the smaller seeds and placed them both in the ring adjusting them accordingly to make smaler "holes". Works great!!

[@CaliKim29]

perfect - LOVE the tip, will pass this along to my viewers! Keep me posted!

[@CombatDoc54]

Just found some great deals for seeds on Ebay. Many are American and certified organic as well. I found one for mung beans, 1 pound for less than 13 dollars which includes shipping. Found some on there for less but had to pay shipping which actually ends up paying a dollar or 2 more.

HEY, SO exciting to start growing. I rinsed and covered them and then came and watched your message. Went back and made both mason jars soaking jars lol...…….

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Hi Kim....excited to try this technique since we cannot grow outdoors living in Ontario. To create smaller holes can I suggest to use 2 diy screens at the top of the jar? Great videos!!!

[@PixieWitch626]

Thanks this was helpful. I just started a salad mix. Day three I’m excited.

[@debishea3116]

Awesome video. Your enjoyable to watch and I learned so much. Trying my first batch today. Thank you.

[@sravanthidiaries]

Super cool idea!!…*****just one call out here is seeds sold in stores are not to be consumed as they have some protective coating to avoid seeds from spoiling. *****so this process can be done only with seeds from our own garden or any seeds that are consumable

[@ChopASk8]

I think the smaller jar makes sense. I'll find another use for the large jar.

[@LateBoomer1964]

When I was a kid, back in the 70's we used cheesecloth and rubber bands for the tops. My mom would put them under the sink but I like the idea of putting them on the counter so you can keep an eye on them. I recommend covering them with a dish towel. Someone asked how long you keep rinsing? Until you are ready to eat them. If they start growing too much you can store and stunt their growth by putting in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Just make sure they smell fresh when you eat them. If they start to smell bad in the bag then toss them in the garden or compost.

[@donniecoleman8509]

Very educational. Thanks for sharing. I use cheese cloth on top of the jars. Works well.

[@jerseyinthephilippines1283]

Thank you for this video, I have been wanting to try growing sprouts but some of the videos seem so involved plus you have to buy certain containers. So glad I found your channel..

[@renitameares3838]

Kim, how long do you do the R-D-R? Do you continue even after the spouting? Maybe until you consume them all?

[@sanjayshendge7372]

I have had great success buying "fresh" dried beans for sprouting at Asian grocery stores, Indian stores have wide variety , they are both cheap as you are buying by the pound ! Just check the production date and if its last years harvest they are probably good. If a batch doesn't work you can make chili :) Would imagine this would be true for organic/vegan/natural food type stores. Probably a lot more expensive.

[@renitameares3838]

Just started my broccoli seeds for sprouts! So excited! We love them and I am so looking forward to having them again, homegrown!

I bought a huge bag of sunflower seeds in the bird seed area of Walmart for growing microgreens outside in a pot. I suppose they can be used as sprouts. It's worth a try, anyway. Of course, the birds and squirrels have been taking their share but I use a wire mesh cover so somethin will be left for us to eat.

[@terrim.602]

I thought it was perfect. It gives us an idea how much crunch sprouts give to a what they are being served on. I personally can't stand anything that is soggy or non crunchy, so listening to the crunch answered my question about sprout texture. I am aware many people can't handle other people çhew sounds, but eating is a part of life.

Hi Kim, I've seen some controversy on whether sprouts are safe to eat raw because of the possibility of ecoli forming. What are your experiences or knowledge on this? I've enjoyed growing sprouts myself but have been too paranoid to eat them without cooking first.

[@TheMommyoftwoboys]

Using organic seeds and cinnamon oil can be of help with reducing pathogens

[@WatchingNinja]

I know this is an old comment but I thought I reply in case someone else asks. You can buy seeds that are specifically made for sprouting/eating. The seeds should have been tested for ecoli.

[@user-lp3ew1xb5u]

Thanks for the video!

[@AJTR611]

Hi Kim! Thank you for this tutorial. Do you rinse off the hulls of your brassica sprouts, or rinse multiple times once they’re actually done? I watched another video where a woman did it 10-12x going from bowl to bowl rinsing the hulls off. That just seems like a huge pain in the butt if it’s unnecessary. I was under the impression they can be loaded with bacteria. Would love your thoughts on this!

[@CaliKim29]

All that I due is rinse them 2x a day - with no issues! LMK how that goes for you!! Way to go with what you feel comfortable with!

[@freeloaderacreshomestead702]

Do you rinse and drain after they sprout? And do you eat the actually seed or pull it off from the sprout?
