Thanks for watching!
Here I am 72 and the first time I have tried to grow anything and I am having fun was very happy to find you and this jar method the micro trays are very expensive. Thx for sharing wiah me good fortune /grin love and blessings
Welcome aboard, Poems!! Glad you are having fun and that we ab le to be apart of that!! You got this, follow the directions and start in small bites. You are on the right track!
I found out this summer I had stage 1 breast cancer and have heard about all the benefits of microgreens... I was hunting a way to grow microgreens.. I am so glad I found this video about growing them in jars!! I thought I was going to have to grow them in dirtand was dreading the mess....Love the idea of having them in the frig at all times...Thank you fro you video...
Sprouts and micro greens are new to me. I've enjoyed growing the micro greens, but I had no idea that you could grow sprouts without soil and without a lot of work. I'm so excited to try them!!
Wow, I didn't realize that we could also sprout with your microgreen collection. I'm so glad that you did this video. I totally learned something new. I've been enjoying them as microgreens. I have to try the alfalfa's.
I let my radishes to go seed. The seedheads will be super crunchy and delicious before they start to turn brown! I will be growing sprouts now, thanks for your tips!
I learned what seeds I can use to start my sprout garden. Just need to make sure I'm using any seeds that will germinate fast. I'm so starting mines as I'm watching this video. I do have a lot of seeds from my spring garden that I had. Plus I feel better knowing I can still have my salad without being poisoned with something. Thank you. I enjoy your channel.
I'm on my third jar of growing my sprouts. I'm glad I watched this video even though I did this years ago. What I learned was the ratio of seeds with the container used. The first and second jar I used too many seeds and the third not enough. Now that I know the ratio and I'm going to get started on a pint of radish sprouts. I use new knee high hose for the tops secured with a rubber band. I'm a Florida gal and can still grow some things outside, but these are so good, easy and fast. Thanks for the info, I will be waiting to watch you live on Monday.
Love the knee high hose tip, Shirley - brilliant! I think that would drain easier than cheesecloth. Looking forward to seeing you on the LS today. Thanks for watching!
I learned that pretty much any seed in the brassica genus can used to grow sprouts, as well the right amount of seeds to use in each jar size. Great video as always!
I am so glad that you did this video. I grew up eating sprouts - mom grew them all the time. I liked having the refresher course reminding me of this awesome way to have the freshness
I learned to mix seeds in the same jar for a tastier variety. I was going to just use broccoli seeds, as I just learned that they are really good for anti-aging. Also, using the needlepoint material and cheese cloth on the jars are great and inexpensive ideas! I am excited to get started!
We loved this information! I learned to Rinse, Drain, Repeat, and loved that no sunlight is needed since it rains a lot and is cloudy in the Pacific NW where we live. Going to start some with these great tips! Thank you!
Never thought of using jars for growing and storing sprouts. Especially since I am new to gardening micro greens. This is also the first year I have had a successful garden, so thank you for all the info and ideas.
Hey Kim, Long time listener...first time caller ; ) Love the sprout method....my 6th grade AA Teacher Mr. Sam Lewis taught us how to grow them a 'Long time ago'. Got my son into it, after he witnessed them 'exploding' in a jar overnight, haha. In closing, Thx....i know im only one of 1000's that truly appreciate what you 'share'....something we all learned how to do in the 2nd Grade. And your 'CC' captions is a brilliant idea!! Thx again, Gary~
Hey Gary, appreciate you being a long time listener - nice to meet you and so glad you commented! Love the story about your son. Sprouts are super fun to grow with kids, the immediate gratification is so satisfying. Glad you enjoy the CC, hopefully it helps more people be able to learn about growing veggies. Thanks for watching and entering the giveaway - good luck!
Wow 😮 Thanks CaliKim. This is great. I learned that it is relatively easy to grow your own sprouts. I already have most everything I need I think I can steam my jars in the instant pot to make sure my jars are clean. I’m well on my way to a healthier new year 🙏🏻❤️😋
I learned that the crafting store can assist in growing nutritional food! 😉 It's so easy, and something I can and should be doing and no hauling soil or compost needed for this. Thank youuu!!! 😊
Good morning you Kim and CG! Love the sprouts, they always look so gorgeous! What did I learn, well I learned that I still love watching your videos just as much as when I started following you guys!!! And I’m either behind or it’s been a while since you’ve done one from your countertop, which was nice...so much space. It’s only 6:20am out here and I’m already ready for the live stream (hahaha) see you there and have an amazing Monday!!!
I've been growing alfalfa sprouts this way for a little while because they are my favorite and so easy! I can't believe how expensive they are in the store and how they are always being recalled. I really didn't know you could eat the sprouts of other seeds though and I can't wait to try some thanks to this video!
I have been sprouting with the help of your channel. I need to change out my rusted metal sprouting lid out for a plastic one. Thanks for the tip of combining the seeds.
Okay, you talked me into it!! I already started some Microgreens today. Now I'm soaking Adzuki, Garbanzo, Mung, & Green Pea seeds & beans for sprouts!! (I got the seeds from True-Leaf Market. This is called the "Protein Powerhouse Mix!!) I'm looking forward to the next couple weeks (Christmas) so I can taste everything!! Thanks for your videos & all that you teach us!!
I did not realize how easy is was to grow all those nutrient dense mini, baby veggies (aka: sprouts) in a jar!! AND , in only 1 week! I’m so excited to start, you made it look so easy. Thank you!
This is the coolest thing ever! I had no idea you could grow spouts that easy! I’m going to make this a science project with my girls for homeschool! 🤗
Thank you so much for doing this video! I will be trying these today! Love the lid idea! There was so much useful info in the video! I had no idea you need to rise and drain! Thank you!
I learned I can make my own mesh lids from needlepoint plastic canvas, and to place the jars in a bowl at an angle for better drainage. Thanks Kim for making this most helpful video. I like sprouts on sandwiches and burgers in place of lettuce, a nice pop of flavor.
I learned that microgreens can be grown in something as small as a jar and that they can be harvested in little as a week! I just started gardening this past year and have learned so much!
Such a cute indoor garden...so i learned that microgreens are grown in soil and sprouts are grown in water only. Both microgreens and sprouts are harvested at the early growth stages of the plant. I'm excited to try to grow sprouts!
I have seen people sprout them in huge pots and advise to change the water every two hours, even to the point of getting up in the middle of the night! And then they end up with bulk bags full of sprouts. I'm single and would never use that much and I certainly don't want to make mung beans my avocation...so thanks, Cali, for showing me a spoonful in a mason jar is easy and more than enough. And that I don't have to be obsessive compulsive with the watering!
Hi Kim! Thank you for another lovely video! Today I learned that when the sprouts are in the jar, they need to be rinsed/drained 2x a day to ensure there will be no mold growth. Also to tilt the jar at an angle to allow the water to drain out. I’m sooooo excited to try it out this week! Thank you~
This whole process is new to me. While I’ve heard of it, I’ve never tried it. I’ve been wanting to give it a go. Thanks for all of the wonderful information.
I learned that there are a lot of variety seeds you can sprout, did not realize you can sprout that many different types. Thanks for the info and giveaway!
Thanks you for Your encouraging positive attitude! I learned two things today...that microgreens are grown in soil and sprouts are grown in water. Also that I could’ve used the cheesecloth I had for My mason jar instead of ordering the stainless steel mesh lids online. ( that would’ve saved Me money and time waiting for shipping to start My sprouts!) ☺️
I am going to try sprouts this wee; I only tried one other time and I let them dry out, oops, so didn't end up with any sprouts. I wasn't sure how much to put into the jar and now I know. It never occurred to me to add it to soup, sounds yummy! Thanks
I love your videos.... I live in SC and the weather can be up and down sometime. So learning about items to grow indoors is awesome.. I am about to purchase some seeds to grow sprouts today. I can't wait to get them in I did not know the process was so easy....
This is pretty cool. And lately a lot of people have been talking about famine and food shortages and supply chain issues and not being able to get groceries. I’ve always stocked up on beans and rice and canned foods so I always had a couple months worth and could probably go six months if I absolutely had to but I would really miss the fresh vegetables. I got some stainless creamed mason jar lids and started doing the sprouting about six months ago. I don’t really know what I’m doing I just bought a mix of seeds off of Amazon that has some radish and broccoli and a couple other things in it and I just soak them overnight and then I rinse them two or three times a day and keep the jars upside down and pretty much exactly the same kind of glass bowls you have there and the sprouts have been great. I’m definitely gonna try some of the other varieties.. I like the idea of just having the jars and not having to do the micro greens but I might try it till eventually. I didn’t know there were so many options, I’ll have to try more. Also you might know, I had sprouts before and I think it might’ve been mustard but they were hot like spicy hot, if you know any that are like that does suggest it would be awesome. But it’s nice to have the fresh vegetables and especially now that people are talking about famines and food shortages. I got a 1 pound bag of seeds and I just keep two jars going so every week I go through about two or 3 tablespoons of seeds and with a 1 pound bag that can probably go 4 to 6 months I would guess. I’m gonna go ahead and order some more and I also saw you can do mung beans and other beans so I’m gonna give that a try but eat them every day now I throw them on a salad or a sandwich or whatever sometimes I just put them on a plate with some avocado and I make my own ranch dressing with all healthy stuff in it and it’s been awesome, and now with the survival food aspect of it I could probably just buy some seeds and make enough vegetables to live off of for a year or two if I absolutely had to but definitely long enough to start growing food in containers or a garden. The whole thing is kind of fun also. I’ve got three or four online friends doing it now as well. Lol
Hi Kim! I love your idea of using needlepoint plastic to use as a lid. We used to grow sprouts back in the 70's in our "hippy" days (whoa...I'm dating myself!) and I never thought to use a smaller jar! We always had too many! Another great idea.
This is so neat, I had no idea you could grow sprouts without soil! I’m newer to gardening within the last year and have learned so much from your channel, thank you!
Screens! I learned you don’t use window screen (not metal ones-they rust) on your jars! Seeds don’t slip through them. Great video! So good to teach this easy method of boosting nutrition!
Thanks for a way to win as we can't get seeds in my area this time of year. Great videos. I learned how to grow sprouts using vented lids and that you can use ANY seeds. So happy to have another way to get nutritious fresh foods off season. Thanks Kim!
Honestly I didn't know anything about growing sprouts, so the entire video was super informative and a learning experience! The first thing I learned though was the difference between sprouts and microgreens. Thank you for your great tutorials!
Hello Cali Kim! I am super excited you did this video on growing sprouts in a mason jar! it’s always hard to come by fresh spouts in the grocery stores!! I would have never guessed it was that easy to grow my own. Thank you!!
a friend gave me some sprouting seed: Peas - lentils - sunflowers - teff (whatever that is) - and buckwheat. I tried once but they did mold. thanks for encouraging me to try again.
I knew generally how sprouts worked but didn’t know you had to rinse them every day twice a day. And I also never thought of using radish seeds for sprouts. I’d be really curious how those taste. Thanks for the vid.
I learned about the different sprouts you could eat! I only knew about bean and alfalfa sprouts. Didn't know you could eat radish and broccoli and kale too! Thanks

Welcome aboard, Poems!! Glad you are having fun and that we ab le to be apart of that!! You got this, follow the directions and start in small bites. You are on the right track!
Thank you. I learned the difference between growing microgreens (soil) and sprouting (no soil). Now I know how to do this!

I am so glad I found this video about growing them in jars!!

I learned that micro greens can be grown in a mason jar and I LOVE that, I have so many lying around.
Sprouts and micro greens are new to me. I've enjoyed growing the micro greens, but I had no idea that you could grow sprouts without soil and without a lot of work. I'm so excited to try them!!
I learned how easy it is have my own sprouts!! So excited to start growing them! Your the best CaliKim!
Great video! I didn't realize how quickly the sprouts would be ready to harvest. Around 5 days is awesome!
I always start my cutting in water. Didn't realize you could grow sprouts that way. Thanks!
Wow, I didn't realize that we could also sprout with your microgreen collection. I'm so glad that you did this video. I totally learned something new. I've been enjoying them as microgreens. I have to try the alfalfa's.

I learned the different types of draining items i can use. I'm very excited to t try this out today🌱 ☺
What a perfect way to grow indoors in winter, will surely try.
I tried doing this before and didn't have good results but I will try it again. You make things look so easy.
I learned the difference between sprouts and microgreens. I love that the sprouts only need water and no soil! Thanks CaliKim!

I learned that you can eat the sprouts before they mature and they are very nutritious. Happy Gardening
What a great idea...my kids were just asking me today why I don’t grow sprouts....I told them I will do it and now I know exactly😍😍😍
They grow very quickly and i did not know you could germinate without soil! I love indoor planting/growth!
I learned how to grow food without soil and that your kitchen is very lovely
I learned that pretty much any seed in the brassica genus can used to grow sprouts, as well the right amount of seeds to use in each jar size. Great video as always!
I am so glad that you did this video. I grew up eating sprouts - mom grew them all the time. I liked having the refresher course reminding me of this awesome way to have the freshness
I learned that they grow really fast. This would be a nice project for kids to watch seeds grow
Was never sure how to grow without soil. Thank you.! So easy peasy
I learned to mix seeds in the same jar for a tastier variety. I was going to just use broccoli seeds, as I just learned that they are really good for anti-aging. Also, using the needlepoint material and cheese cloth on the jars are great and inexpensive ideas! I am excited to get started!

It was great to have you on the livestream, Kathy and Randy! Hope you can get some micros or sprouts going - we love them!
@@CaliKim29 it was fun to see you in action! Hope to be on more in the future!
Never thought of using jars for growing and storing sprouts. Especially since I am new to gardening micro greens. This is also the first year I have had a successful garden, so thank you for all the info and ideas.
I learned the rinse, drain, and repeat method to grow sprouts. I like the video!
I learned there are things you can grow without a lot of sun or windowsill space- perfect for my tiny apt window 🌞
This is so informative. I learned how to grow your own spouts. It seems simple ....im surprised more people dont do this.

Wow what a great way to have fresh produce in the winter time! Going to try some!
I've been growing alfalfa sprouts this way for a little while because they are my favorite and so easy! I can't believe how expensive they are in the store and how they are always being recalled.

I learned the difference between micro greens and sprouts! Love your videos going to give this a try!
As long as I have been growing sprouts I had no idea you could do cabbage!!!! Thanks I’ll definitely be adding that to my rotation. Yummm
Exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you, kindly, for all that you do! ❤
So glad! I love when that happens! Keep us posted, Hazel. Kim
I love this video. And i learned that you can have a garden even in the winter and how to rinse, drane, repeat🌱
I did not realize how easy is was to grow all those nutrient dense mini, baby veggies (aka: sprouts) in a jar!! AND , in only 1 week! I’m so excited to start, you made it look so easy. Thank you!
Hey Therese - I know you'll love sprouts as much as I do! Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and entering the giveaway - good luck!

I learned the difference between sprouts and microgreens. Thanks Kim!
Great video. I never knew sprouts are that easy to grow.
I learned everything! Cabbage sprouts ... that's something I would have never thought of. I love cabbage so I cant wait to make this!
Wow that is so simple. I thought you needed more materials. I also learned that you can grow radish sprouts. Sound delicious. THANK YOU!
Gotta try it, Mam, it's ridiculously easy! Thanks for watching and entering the giveaway - good luck!
I have seen people sprout them in huge pots and advise to change the water every two hours, even to the point of getting up in the middle of the night! And then they end up with bulk bags full of sprouts. I'm single and would never use that much and I certainly don't want to make mung beans my avocation...so thanks, Cali, for showing me a spoonful in a mason jar is easy and more than enough. And that I don't have to be obsessive compulsive with the watering!
Hi Kim! Thank you for another lovely video! Today I learned that when the sprouts are in the jar, they need to be rinsed/drained 2x a day to ensure there will be no mold growth. Also to tilt the jar at an angle to allow the water to drain out. I’m sooooo excited to try it out this week! Thank you~

I learned that there are a lot of variety seeds you can sprout, did not realize you can sprout that many different types. Thanks for the info and giveaway!
I learned that you can pretty much use any quick germinating seeds you like!
Great! Learned lots cuz I'm a total newbie to sprouts! Especially the rinse, drain, repeat steps are essential! Thanks!
Very cool! I didn’t realize how easy it is
Thanks you for Your encouraging positive attitude! I learned two things today...that microgreens are grown in soil and sprouts are grown in water. Also that I could’ve used the cheesecloth I had for My mason jar instead of ordering the stainless steel mesh lids online. ( that would’ve saved Me money and time waiting for shipping to start My sprouts!) ☺️
Sprouts truly are easy to grow. I learned, and really like the idea of mixing the seeds to get a variety of flavors. Great job on the video!
I am going to try sprouts this wee; I only tried one other time and I let them dry out, oops, so didn't end up with any sprouts. I wasn't sure how much to put into the jar and now I know. It never occurred to me to add it to soup, sounds yummy! Thanks
I didn’t know you could sprout such a variety of seeds. Thanks for the video!
It's fun to sprout a mixture of seeds - really pumps up the zip factor. Thanks for watching and entering the giveaway - good luck!
I love your videos.... I live in SC and the weather can be up and down sometime. So learning about items to grow indoors is awesome.. I am about to purchase some seeds to grow sprouts today. I can't wait to get them in I did not know the process was so easy....
Great refresher course. I haven't had these in a while. I think I'll do up a jar or two. Have a great day.
I learned about the different types of microgreens and different ways to grow them!!
I loved this video! I live in NJ and no way can I be gardening outside right now, I’m super excited to learn how to grow micro greens and sprouts!!
This is pretty cool. And lately a lot of people have been talking about famine and food shortages and supply chain issues and not being able to get groceries.

Hi Kim! I love your idea of using needlepoint plastic to use as a lid. We used to grow sprouts back in the 70's in our "hippy" days (whoa...I'm dating myself!) and I never thought to use a smaller jar! We always had too many! Another great idea.
One of my favorite combinations for sprouting is Alfalfa, Red Clover, & Broccoli! Very tasty!!
Good to know you should only grow what you can eat since they are best consumed within a few days. Thanks for the great info!
This is so neat, I had no idea you could grow sprouts without soil! I’m newer to gardening within the last year and have learned so much from your channel, thank you!
Screens! I learned you don’t use window screen (not metal ones-they rust) on your jars! Seeds don’t slip through them. Great video! So good to teach this easy method of boosting nutrition!
I didn't know sprouts at home were so easy! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Kim, I can usually keep some things alive through the winter here too but sprouts are great fresh food.
Glad you'ree growing strong this winter! Sprouts are so easy and the flavor can't be beat! What kind do you like to grow?
My favorite are sunflowers which I actually grow in a soil flat. My grand kids love to pick and eat them
yummy, and fun to do with the grandkids!
Thanks for a way to win as we can't get seeds in my area this time of year. Great videos. I learned how to grow sprouts using vented lids and that you can use ANY seeds. So happy to have another way to get nutritious fresh foods off season. Thanks Kim!
You got it, Christine - glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and entering the giveaway - good luck!
Honestly I didn't know anything about growing sprouts, so the entire video was super informative and a learning experience! The first thing I learned though was the difference between sprouts and microgreens. Thank you for your great tutorials!
Whoa! I always thought this was difficult to do so I always bought sprouts. So glad I saw your video! Thank you 😊
Wow, I can’t wait to try the radish sprouts!
Awesome idea with the needlepoint screen! Genius!!
I learned to grow greens indoors in the winter. Micro greens, sprouts & leaf lettuce.
I always forget how easy it can be. Need to get off my duff and try this!!🌸🌺
I just started microgreening never thought about sprouts thanks for the info.
Hello Cali Kim! I love your new seed collections!!
Hello Cali Kim! I am super excited you did this video on growing sprouts in a mason jar! it’s always hard to come by fresh spouts in the grocery stores!! I would have never guessed it was that easy to grow my own. Thank you!!
Thank you for such an informative video...you explained it beautifully!
a friend gave me some sprouting seed: Peas - lentils - sunflowers - teff (whatever that is) - and buckwheat. I tried once but they did mold. thanks for encouraging me to try again.
I knew generally how sprouts worked but didn’t know you had to rinse them every day twice a day. And I also never thought of using radish seeds for sprouts. I’d be really curious how those taste. Thanks for the vid.
I learned that I definitely need to order some sprouts from you. We had no idea we could grow them that way.
The DIY lid suggestions were great. Thanks for sharing!
I love to sprout seeds! I learned about the material for the red lids you can get at craft stores. Thanks for the video.
I learned that it looks fun and easy to grow yummy nutritious treats
It's super easy, Nancy! They grow so fast, you can almost watch them grow. Thanks for watching and entering the giveaway - good luck!
Love growing my own Sprouts, tasty and deliciously nutritious. 👍💚🌿🌱🍃✌️😍
I learned about the different sprouts you could eat! I only knew about bean and alfalfa sprouts. Didn't know you could eat radish and broccoli and kale too! Thanks
I grow greens for my chickens in the winter since watching your older video
Hi thank you I learned to rinse twice a day.
