Sprouting - Quinoa

Sprouts are awesome little morsels ( or shoots? ) of yummy goodness, and since the world seems to be in a quinoa craze these past couple years...why not have quinoa sprouts? Below are the easy steps ( with pictures yay!) about how to sprout quinoa.


Things you'll need :

1. Quart size mason jar , with holes cut in the lid, a fancy sprouting lid, or (like i did) stockings.

2. 1 cup Organic Quinoa.

3. Unlimited Purified water

4. Largish bowl ( big enough to put the quart jar inside, on a tilt )

Also you may want a towel handy.


Step 1. Add quinoa to the jar, fill with water till all of the quinoa is submerged. Let set for 6 hours.

Step 2. Drain and Rinse quinoa, set in bowl, tilted so it can drain ( I suggest placing a towel under the jar to catch excess water.) 

Step 3. Rinse and Drain Quinoa 2 times a day for 2 days.

Step 4. After Final rinse, spread quinoa onto a cookie sheet  ( or large bowl? ) or rack..allow to dry before placing in a bag and refrigerating up to 2 weeks.

P.S  : It's best if you cook these ( or steam) for a bit before eating, just to kill any harmful bacteria.
