I have another 2 lbs of sunflower seeds sitting in the vittles vault, so I figured I would try sprouting some for her! Jade likes them I think!

I just used a regular mason jar, with the solid lid replaced with a paper towel. I soaked for about 14 hours or so, then rinsed and drained well every 12 hours.

I also use a mason jar for sprouting. I have a sprouting lid (you can find them on amazon etc) and works a charm :)

I sprout overnight, but I have to rinse more often than Bee because of the heat here.
