Growing your own micro mix is fun and easy! In about a week's time you can have delicious healthy microgreens to add to salads or to garnish your favorite recipes.
Here's what you'll need:
Sunflower Seeds
Quart Mason Jar
Water
Small piece of screen or mesh
Rubber Band
Potting soil
Plastic planting tray or ceramic tray of similar size
Instructions:
1. Put a few cups of sunflower seeds in a mason jar and cover completely with water. Let this sit for about 12 hours.
2. Drain the water and use a rubber band to secure a piece of screen over the mouth of the jar. Rinse the seeds with water a few times and drain. Place on a drying rack or somewhere where the jar can be relatively horizontal and drain.
3. Rinse a few times a day for the next few days until you start to see sprouts form. When sprouts are about 1/4" long you are ready to plant. (Not all seeds will have sprouted, this is okay.)
4. Spread sprouting seeds in a tray of well draining soil. No need to cover seeds, just let them sit on top.
5. Water daily and keep in a sunny location.
6. In about a week your sprouts will be ready to trim with scissors and eat!!
Change soil before planting your next round of sprouts as molding can occur.
