You will be amazed at how easy and fast (as little as five days) it is to grow sprouts!!!
1. Place your seed into a fine mesh colander covered with cheesecloth. Rinse the seeds under cool, running water and place them in a sterilized wide-mouthed glass jar. Cover the seeds with water and let them soak for 8 to 12 hours.
2. Rinse and drain the seeds and transfer back to the jar. Do not cover them with water. Place a light, breathable cloth on top of the jar and leave it in a cool, semi-lit location.
3. Rinse and drain your sprouts every 8 to 12 hours for 3 days, or until they display 1/4-inch roots. Taste the sprouts each time you rinse to help you decide how you like them best, as the flavor will change over time.
4. Rinse and drain seeds. Place your sprouts in the refrigerator, where they should keep for 2-3 weeks.
Chia which originally grew in Mexico and Central America, has been valued as a staple nutrient for hundreds of years; in Mexico, it once acted as currency. With available water, natives could survive on the nutrients of a small amount of chia seeds for an entire day or many days if necessary.
Several universities have researched the health benefits of chia and found that a tablespoon of seed could sustain a person for 24 hours even under extreme exertion.
The seeds provide essential nutrients and are an excellent source of fiber, protein, calcium, and digestive enzymes. Chia seeds also contain one of the highest known sources of Essential Fatty Acids, the highest source of energy in nutrition that regulate many life processes in the body.
