🔁 Sprouting Instructions (All Seeds)

Step 1: Soak the Seeds

Use 2 tbsp for small seeds (alfalfa, broccoli, seed mix) and 4 tbsp for large seeds (mung, chickpeas).
Rinse and fill the jar halfway with filtered water. Soak for 8–12 hours (overnight).
Secure the sprouting lid.

Step 2: Rinse & Drain

Drain water through the lid, rinse with fresh water, and drain again.
Turn the jar upside down to allow proper air circulation.
Repeat this process every 8–12 hours.

Step 3: Harvest

Sprouts are ready in 2–6 days depending on seed type.
Rinse one final time and store in the fridge for up to a week.
