Wash required seed in cold water. Drain thoroughly and soak overnight in tepid water. Drain and place seeds in a clean glass jar. Sprouted volume will increase x 4. Cover the top with muslin or a piece of clean loosely woven cloth. Fill the jar with water to rinse seed and then drain. Place in an airing cupboard at around 13-21 degrees. Rinse twice daily.

 

When seeds germinate, move to a well lit position out of direct sunlight a couple of days prior to harvesting, rinsing daily. Harvest when shoots are 2.5-5cm long.
