- Looking for ways of producing more food at home? Have kids at home in need of some learning activities? Regardless of your age, there's never been a better time to learn a new skill. 1:22 Jerry shows how to grow nutritionally dense sprouts in your kitchen - it's fast, easy and a great way of getting kids involved with food production!
Materials Required
00:41 Organic seeds - these can be purchased in bulk from health food distributors. (DON’T use seeds that have been packaged for growing in the garden, they are likely treated with preservatives, fungicides or drying agents. Jerry uses quinoa, alfalfa, adzuki bean, chia, pumpkin, radish, mung bean and sesame.)
Commercial sprout kit or sterilised jars
Gauze, flyscreen or shadecloth off cuts (to cover jars)
Rubber bands
Dish drainer or similar
Moisture
Method
1:22 Soak seeds in water overnight. This will remove any naturally occurring growth inhibitors.
Thoroughly rinse seeds.
Spoon a tablespoon or two of the seeds sterilised jars. (One jar per seed type.)
1:54 Cover top of jars with gauze, and secure with rubber band.
2:15 Place jars at 45-degree angle into dish drainer, gauze-side down. (This allows excess moisture to drain away.)
Place dish drainer with jars in a warm, sunny position. (Sunlight is not necessary, but will speed up the sprout growing process.)
2:38 Rinse seeds in jar and drain at least once per day. This prevents the build-up of bacteria that may impact the success of your sprouts.
2:51 * If your sprouts show signs of bacteria, mould or emit a foul odour, they should not be eaten as they may be harmful.

Dish drainer is a solid tip!! thank you!
very efficently showed us the concepts. under four minutes? a champion!
This is the best tutorial on sprouting that I’ve seen. Thank you ☺️
Fab video! There’s a few gimmicks out there at high prices! This is brilliant thank you 🙏
Will follow your directions. I love that you just use items around the house (jar, dish rack). So grateful for these directions. Thank you!
Best sprouting vid out there! Thank you!
Best video I’ve watched about seed sprouting. Thank you for making me smile! ☺️
Glad you liked it - Thanks for watching!
Exactly what I was looking for - a video that doesn't use a proper sprouting kit (I don't have one!) Nicely explained. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful, Pat! Thanks for watching.
@@GardeningAustralia Yes, thank you. I kept thinking this could be done without an expensive kit and I am glad you showed how to do it safely. I have also heard rinse them the first day with same ACV water. Won't hurt anything so I will do that also.
@@GardeningAustralia Very nice video. I was wondering, what is your shade cloth made from? Do you have that information as it will narrow the search to something that tried and effective. Many thanks.
@@josefschiltz2192 hose (stockings, pantyhose) works.
@@josefschiltz2192 You can use a cheese (muslin) cloth.
Short and sweet and to the point! Thank you for this!
you are so smart and i love the way you explain....all then essential information and reasons behind it.....will definitely try it.
I spray with colloidal silver. Research says it keeps them growth free of bacteria and you cant use to much the plant will only absorb what it needs. Also documented that nano silver increased yields.
Thank you, I just learnt more, and some cheaper tips on items to use, than a bunch of videos and websites I've already seen. Too many pushing expensive sprouting systems and stands etc.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much and your delivery is just charming too.

Thank you mate 3min others want to take all you time! Ah mate !
Thank you so much for the amazing video.
Could you please suggest a site/ place to buy seeds in Australia?
Great sprouting video! I'm part of an active Facebook group based in the US called, Sprouting: The Beginner's Guide to Growing Sprouts. We have members from many different countries and time zones. Would you consider speaking at one of our weekly zoom calls?
inspiring video,
do you eat them with roots?
Aren't they supposed to be in dark for the first 3 days?
I just bought a couple packs of sprouts seeds, they are almost sold out...
can you also sprout red kohlrabi this way???
I find ur video is the most easier but i think u still need to add more explaination the different that presence in the market such as microgreen, especially broccoli
2:00 I tried using cheese cloth and it got mold really bad in 5 days or so. What did I do wrong?
Cheese cloth may not let enough fresh air through to the seeds as it is closely woven?
Thanks very informative Oh to far to be naughty lol
