@Heather B Alfalfa and clover (leafy sprouts) tend to be the easiest to grow. But sprouting is so easy to do that any type will do for someone starting out. Rinsing is important for germinating. Actually, sprouts take less than 5 minutes a day of work for 3 to 7 days and it is much cheaper than buying at the store. You can have a yield of a week or two of sprouts. They are mainly used as a garnish and not as a main meal. So, you actually get a lot for your time! Hope that answered all your questions. Please visit this link if you have any more questions.

I love sprouts on sandwiches but I always forget that I like them. I’m gonna have to go get some.

What sprouts do you recommend for someone just starting out? What’s with all the rinsing? What does that do? Seems like a lot of work for something that doesn’t yield large amounts. Worth it?

@Rosy That is right. The seeds are only soaked initially (once) and after that they are continually rinsed. A dry seed is inactive. When you soak the seeds you initiate growth.

Fabulous post, Talli!!! I’m totally going to do this, I buy my sprouts at the Farmer’s Market. Just to make sure, once I drain the initial water, I just have to raise the seeds and don’t add water again?
