How to Make Fresh Sprouts | Live Free or Die: How to Homestead


I would like to show you how to make
fresh clover sprouts it’s one of the
things that Tony and I have a hard time
getting in the winter our fresh
vegetables one solution to that is to
make sprouts here I have a whole bunch
of clover seeds just take couple
tablespoons of sprouts and put them into
a clean jar next thing I’m gonna do is
pour some water in and I’m just gonna
pour you know about a cup so that’s
enough to cover the seeds and swirl it
around make sure all the seeds are down
under the water
I’m gonna let this sit overnight that’s
going to start the germination process
so after 12 hours I’m going to drain the
water we have a screen and it fits right
into a mason jar lid so I’m going to
dump this out and you want to let it
drain I’m going to find a spot to let it
sit so a dark area is perfect and I
don’t want it to be too cold so I’m just
gonna set it on the counter here while
this jar is sitting it needs to be
rinsed twice a day and that’s really
important because if you don’t rinse it
often enough the sprouts and the water
will get kind of smelly and you will
notice after a few days that the sprouts
will start to make little tiny roots so
this is another jar of sprouts and these
ones have been sprouting for about four
or five days and you can see they’ve got
roots and they also have some tiny light
green leaves forming so once your
sprouts are done sprouting you can put
them in the fridge and that will stop
the sprouting process in order to make
sure that you don’t get any bad bacteria
in your sprouts you can spray them down
with a vinegar and then rinse them off
but my favorite way to eat them is to
put them on salad and to make like a
little salad dressing to put on top I’m
gonna try a little by little
hmm
very good I was a really fresh spring
kind of flavor
