I'm not sure why I thought that sprouting would be difficult. I read about sprouting your own alfalfa on a blog last year, by using a sprouting kit. Anything that requires a kit is far too complicated for me. A trip to our local nursery had me taking the plunge and buying a packet of seeds to sprout, knowing I'd have to come home and order one of those frightening "kits".
After doing a little research online, I found that there could be nothing easier than sprouting in your own kitchen! No need for a kit at all. All you need is a mason jar and an old pair of nylons or some cheesecloth.
Here's a step-by-step for anyone interested.
I've also attempted to sprout some green lentils. I'm not really a fan of lentils and I've heard that sprouted lentils can be a real bitch, digestively speaking. Maybe I'll try to through them in a stir fry or something.
YUMMY!!
