Learn how to easily sprout wheat berries at home for a nutritious and delicious addition to your meals.
Place the wheat berries in a quart jar and fill with lukewarm water.
Use a clean jar to ensure the sprouts stay fresh and uncontaminated.
Cover the jar with a double layer of cheesecloth and secure it with a rubber band.
Ensure the cheesecloth is tightly secured to prevent any debris from entering.
Drain the water through the cheesecloth, refill the jar with fresh water, and let the wheat berries soak for 2 hours.
Soaking helps to activate the sprouting process.
Drain the water, rinse the wheat berries, and drain again.
Rinsing thoroughly prevents any unwanted growth.
Place the jar on its side in a dark place.
A dark environment encourages sprouting.
Rinse and drain the wheat berries twice a day for 2-4 days until sprouts form.
Check the sprouts daily to ensure they are growing properly.
Once the sprouts are ready, rinse them in a colander with cold water, drain, and store in the refrigerator.
Store the sprouts in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
