More sprouts!

The sprouting Jar -- kept on its side so the grains get more air

Last night (Tues) I started some more sprouts. This time I'm trying oat groats and buckwheat groats. I'm so glad I found these instructions before I started. You're only supposed to soak them for 20-30 minutes because otherwise they get water logged and won't sprout. I was going to soak them overnight, whew! The other important thing about these is that you have to rinse the water until it runs clear or they won't sprout. This morning, my buckwheat groats are already sprouting a bit. I'll "harvest" them tonight.

 Sprouts in Action! 
These are buckwheat groats. You can see a tiny white bud coming off the pointy end.
