First i take a table spoon full and pour them into a small bowl to soak for 4-8 hours. 🕑

You can see they start to get green here. I need to do a better job at keeping them out of the sun i think.

Sprouts are a concentrated source of nutrients designed to support the growth of the new plant. This is the reason they are a great part of your diet because they can help you meet all your nutritional requirements.

Make sure you give young plants plenty of water, but always avoid wetting the plant’s leaves! Wet leaves can easily lead to mold, rot, and a sick plant! As your sprouts grow, remember that the general rule of thumb is to give plants an inch of water per week. If you keep the garden close to your house, popping outside to give your plants some water will hardly seem like any effort at all. Be on the look-out for yellow leaves that means too much water!

Thank you for the good advice. I make sure to always rinse and drain thoroughly to avoid getting mold issues.
