Wheat Sprouts

Recipe submitted by April R.

Supplies needed:
Jar (I prefer quart)
Netting or old nylon stocking
Rubber band
Whole wheat

Place 1 cup of wheat in a 1 quart jar and cover with netting or old nylon and use the rubber band to keep it on.

Add water to about 2 inches above wheat.  Let soak overnight or for 8-12 hours. Try to set jar in a cupboard or a dark spot on the counter. Drain water. Rinse wheat and tilt jar so excess water can drain out. Rinse three times a day for 2-3 days. When the sprouts are at least the length of the wheat kernel they are ready to eat. If the sprouts grow to long they get a bitter taste. Place the jar in the refrigerator to slow the growth process.

Put into EVERYTHING! I add them to cereals, casseroles, salads, sandwiches, soups, etc. Use your imagination.
