My first attempt was when I started using red beans and originally it was something done just for fun. But after that I can tell the interest begins to develop and you just have to try with every possible combination and ways to grow the “best” sprout. Do you guys realize that using hard well water will make the sprouts crunchy? Just try it

I have been trying to grow Sprouts in my kitchen window for a long time, but they keep getting ruined. Do they need direct sunlight? Should I put them in a place with less direct sunlight. I am definitely going to have to try it this way next time I feel brave enough.

This is one of those “WHY have I not been doing this already????” type posts. Great idea, I love sprouts and tend to buy them prepackaged in plastic from the local grocer, this is a much better way.

An excellent article Shannon. Anything that has people eating produce they grow, and thus know exactly what additives if any were introduced is a good thing. And winter is the season when self or locally grown produce is almost non-existent. Obviously that need not be the case I see after reading your post.
