How I grow Radish Sprouts

I love the flavor of fresh sprouts. But lately they have been getting a bad rap from commercial ones tainted with nasty germs. That's because the growers aren't careful. I'll show you how I grow them. I usually have a batch or two in a window sill. I use sprouts for salads, sandwiches, wraps and garnish. Because they are small still the sprouts are packed full of all the nutrients!

Here's how I grow them:

You will need:
A jar
Paper towels
Sprouting Radish seeds from Whole Foods or the internet
A sunny window

Cutting it out some paper towels in the shape of what ever jar you are using

Put it in the bottom of the jar and adding some water and add the seeds.

Place in a window.

After one day (24 hours)

Day Two:

Day Three:

Day Four:

Day Five:

Day Six:

Day Seven Harvest:

Pull paper towel pad out of jar

Snip off sprouts at the root

Snipped sprouts waiting for bath. wash wash wash... and wash again.

Here they are, ready to eat or garnish... They are delicious!

Look how tender and green the first leaves are.

Ready to add to my salad, sandwichs and wraps.

They keep well for a least a week. (they don't last that long in my kitchen) I use them in salads and sandwiches and wraps and as garnish for meals. 

~Enjoy~
