Step One: Select Your SeedsThere are hundreds of different seed and bean types you can sprout. Sprout Huggers work best with medium to large sized seeds and beans. If you are not sure where to buy seeds, we recommend some sources and resources below.

Step Two: Soak Your SeedsMost seed sprouting starts with soaking for 6-8 hours or overnight.

Step Three: Rinse Your Seeds RegularlyAfter soaking, drain and rinse your seeds a few times before placing your jar and Sprout Hugger upside down on the reservoir.

Step Four: DrainTilt the jar to drain the water. Tapping the center of the mesh helps to remove the last bits of water After each rinse, place your jar on the sprout hugger base to catch any excess water.

Step Five: Return to the ReservoirAfter each rinse, place your jar on the sprout hugger base to catch any excess water. Most seeds need a day or two in the shade to get started. But then you can move them into the sun to get even more nutrients.

Step Six : Soak in the SunshineFollow instructions for your selected seeds for when to move them into the sunlight. Enjoy watching them grow! When your sprouts are ready, rinse them thoroughly in a bowl of water and skim off any unsprouted seeds. Lay sprouts out to dry (tea towel works best) and then store in the fridge when dry.
