I was inspired by Jennifer on S/V Luna Sea after she posted pictures of scrumptious broccoli sprouts and gave me some encouragement to give sprouting a go. I purchased some stainless steel screen tops for mason jars (actually, a whole cheap kit with plastic jars and stands) and alfalfa and broccoli sprout seeds and just went for it! My first batch of alfalfa sprouts was a blooming success, with our first sprouts ready to eat 3-4 days after I started. It was easy and I love the idea of having fresh greens onboard whenever I want. Soooo good! And with two vegetarians onboard this is really a game-changer.
Going forward I think I will start a new batch every five days or so. One tablespoon of seeds makes a packed jar of sprouts so I can have one jar to eat while the other is sprouting. I’m loving this!
