WHAT ARE
SPROUTS?
Sprouts are germinated seeds that have grown into very young plants.
Many different types of seeds can be grown into sprouts, including
vegetables, nuts, legumes, leafy greens, and grains.

Sprouts typically are harvested just as they begin to green and are less than
two inches long. Although sprouts are commonly referred to as “bean sprouts,”
beans are not the only seed that can be sprouted and many varieties of beans
can be grown into sprouts. Popular types of sprouts include alfalfa, broccoli, and
mung beans, but there are dozens–if not hundreds–of more options.

WHY GROW
SPROUTS?
Delicious, healthy and fresh. Sprouts can be grown any time of the year in
anyone’s kitchen. It’s an easy and fun way to bring gardening indoors and only
requires a couple seconds of work each day. Growing your own sprouts gives
you control over the seed combinations and the safety of your sprouts.

Sprouts are becoming increasingly popular as people become more health

focused. Sprouts allow you to add specific vitamins to your diet. They're loaded
with concentrated levels of vitamins and nutrients–they can make up for most
daily nutrient recommendations! Refer to pages 5 and 6 to see the specific
health benefits your seed type offers.

HOW TO GROW
SPROUTS AT HOME
Growing sprouts at home is easy and fun.
The easiest way to grow sprouts is with a
Bean Screen sprouting lid and any wide
mouth Mason jar. Bean Screens stay on
for every step of the process and have
unique features that make sprouting fool
proof. Get your own Bean Screen here.

Ready to get started? Here are some basic guidelines on how to sprout.

1 Choose the seeds you would like to sprout. Take

note of the yield and soaking time as specified
on the package, or refer to our “Handy Dandy
Sprouting Guide” on pages 5 and 6.

Select your sprouting device. We recommend

2
using our Bean Screens for wide mouth Mason
jars. They have unique features, like standing
pegs and an inverted sprout, that streamlines the
process. Click here to purchase on Amazon.

3 Add your seeds to your sprouting device and soak

them in water for about 10 minutes and then drain
them to wash away any residue. Cover them again
with water and let them soak again as specified
for your seed type: this could range anywhere
from 2-8 hours.

3
After the seeds are done soaking, drain them,
4
rinse them, then drain again. Remember: if you’re
using the Bean Screen, it can stay on for the entire
sprouting process.

5
If you’re using the Bean Screen, further drain
water by simply resting the jar upside-down
on its standing pegs for 15 minutes. If you’re
using another device, please follow their safety
instructions for draining.

Lay your jar on its side for the growing process.

6
Air will freely flow in and out of the jar through
the Bean Screen and the faceted sides will stop it
from rolling from the counter.

7 Continue to rinse and drain your sprouts every

morning and evening, then leave them to grow. If
the seeds/sprouts start to dry out, increase rinsing
and draining. Always thoroughly drain water from
the jar. Refer to your sprouting instructions or the
following pages 5 and 6 for sprouting times.

Once your sprouts are grown, give them a final

rinse and then swirl them around in a bowl of
8
water to gently separate the hulls (this is optional).

Lay them out flat to dry. Once completely dry,

move them to an airtight container and store
them in the fridge. Sprouts can last up to 2 weeks
or more in the fridge if properly stored.
