What is sprouting and how does one grow sprouts from one’s own home?

Sprouting refers to the process by which shoots or buds grow from spores or seeds.

This is actually a simple process and one can easily make their own homegrown sprouts.

How does one begin with the sprouting process?

Before you even start with the process, you must remember that sprouting seeds come in many different sizes - so the container that you will use and the amount of water that you will need for the sprouting procedure would depend on the size and the kind of sprouting seeds that you have.

The first step is to prepare your seeds and soak with water. Then drain. And then wash the sprouts.

The second step is to see through some days or until you see sprouts are ready to be added to your meal.

Voila, you now have your very own homegrown food - the sprouts.

It works like a miracle. Don't you think? Simple and easy.

This sprouting activity could be a good way of spending your spare time at home.

And it could be fun and exciting in a way. You are producing something, after all. There is that good feeling that would come out of the experience.

A little accomplishment, as they say, is always a good thing.
