our beans are a sproutin'

i'm so excited that my little babies started sprouting and

i can't wait to incorporate them into all of our meals.

these have already doubled in size since yesterday!

landon made a request.

paste our heads on the lentil bean sprouts,

i couldn't resist after hearing his excitement.

"two lentil sprouties in love"

grow them with me!

all you need is:

a jar

beans

cheesecloth

rubberband

lots of sunlight

water

1. Buy pretty much any type of bean [alfalfa, clover, lentil, sunflower, garbanzo, mung etc.]

Get about 1 cup of beans and soak them overnight for about 8-12 hours.

2. Once they are all plump and ready, strain the excess water, rinse again

and strain, then transfer into jar, filing it no more than 1/3 of the way.

3. Cover the top with cheesecloth and a rubberband.

4. For the next few days, fill the jar with water and rinse the beans twice

a day through the cheesecloth. Make sure you get all the excess water out

or else your sprouts can potentially spoil.

5. After about 5 days your sprouts should be ready to eat!

Keep in fridge in a tupperware lined with paper towels.
