Counter-top Gardening: Growing your own sprouts

Sprouts are a great way to get some of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs when fresh local vegetables are not in season.  Best of all, it’s a lot easier than you would think.  You basically soak the seeds overnight in a jar with some screen or netting banded around the top, then drain them and let them sit.  You rinse and drain them twice a day for about 3-5 days depending on the seeds.  When they are ready you can simply transfer them to a container and put them in your fridge. There are all kinds of different seeds that you can sprout.  Image
