- Welcome back to Angela's kitchen! Today she's doing a tutorial on growing sprouts for seasonal eating and food self sufficiency. You can sprout alfalfa, beans, nuts, radishes, broccoli and other seeds right in your own kitchen, with just a little water and a bit of attention over time.
Find out how you may already be doing this without realizing it, plus a few common seeds that aren't safe to eat this way.
Sprouts are delicious and healthy. They can provide live enzymes even in the winter in cooler climates. They're super easy to grow yourself in mason jars with plastic kit lids, stainless steel mesh lids or DIY plastic mesh lids. (links below) Angela currently has a plastic-free kitchen so the two methods she has shown here are a stainless steel mesh screen and a terra cotta sprouter.

Enjoy!
Such a sweet, kindhearted lady. I enjoy her personality so much. Thank you for teaching!
DITTO!!!
Finally somebody who really explains how sprouting is done without either leaving steps out or adding a bunch of extraneous tangets
Loved your video! Such a genuinely sweet personality you can see coming through...and I learned a lot 🙂
Thank you for your honesty and humility. I appreciate that! SUBSCRIBED!
Props to your helper! She was a very good assistant. Also I thank you for this video. Thanks for going through the steps and showing different sprouting options.
For those of us on a shoestring budget, you can use the canning jar ring over a piece of nylon from pantyhose to rinse and drain instead of the stainless steel mesh cover.
Jean OConnor Didn't even think of that! Would not use used ones, but you can get them so so so cheap at Walmart. they even sell single knee high pairs for like 50¢ in those clear quarter machine balls. Great idea, thanks!
Thank you, Angela, for giving us this lesson on sprouting and making it so clear and easy, and thank you, Esther, for bringing us this and putting in the links for equipment and grains!
Esther--you're doing such important and valuable things in introducing so many good ideas and "movements" that are a blessing to many! I just can't thank you enough!♡♡♡
Thanks. This is great, clear teaching. I feel like, “even I can do that”.
Gotta get back into sprouting - ...so healthy! Thanks for the tips and visuals on so many different types of sprouts.
Sprouts are such a great source of nutrients. Sprouting is one of the major suggestions I make to preppers not only those with limited space for growing full sized plants, but also as a way to grow food quickly for those with space.
The only big drawback of sprouting is you don't get more seed doing it to produce more sprouts. So you need to remember to grow enough full sized plants that go to seed to have a sustainable system of sprouting. You also need to store and ration enough seed to do your sprouting over the year.
Great video, I always love seeing more sprouting info out there to spread this great knowledge.
1 50 cal ammo can will hold 6 months worth of seeds . I have been sprouting for 4 years . I eat 2 meals a day of sprouts .
Lovely lady and great information. Thank you : )
Nylon stockings, (Panyhose) or non corosive window screen is the most economical way to go.
This is my first time enjoying your CZcams channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing! We are just starting sprouting....perfect timing for this video. I just got my supplies this week!
Thank you for this class! I've wanted to do sprouting, but was kind of intimidated by the whole thing. Seeing Angela go through the steps, and the tips on how to make it inexpensive (Plastic canvas for the win!) has made me realize I can do this!
I know, sometimes things sound intimidating but then seeing the process really helps! Good luck Rick! :)
I did not know you could sprout so many different foods. Thanks for the sprouting video!
What a sweet lady … nice work covering a lot . I’m figuring it out and so many other videos omitted so much info . Great job, thank you :)
Great tip on removing some of the hulls. Thanks!!
I purchased a stainless spatter screen for $3.99 and cut them to fit jar rings. The standard metal rings will rust quickly so you have to dry them after each rinse. You can also drop them into a plastic jar top with a bunch of holes drilled into them.
Great video. I'm just starting to sprout my seeds, beans and lentils, and it looks like fun.
Just found you today , thank you for all your wonderful information.
Love from the UK ❤
Great video, thank you for inviting us into your home and sharing this knowledge!
This is very informative. I didn't think of sprouts until today. I am new at raising backyard chickens and was told that they love sprouts and they are healthier for them than grain. Thank you for showing me how to use them for my family too.
Thank you!!! You were so sweet.
Thank you for being so easy to understand!!😃
Love my mung Sprouts...these are the best for SAD (seasonal affective disorder) . Cheers
We use the Cheese Cloth and rubber band for our jar covers.
11:58 ever cool...never sprouted a nut before...wow
do you use a dehydrator to dry them, or oven ?
15:26 awesome....a sprouter
Kanzee thanks for the info. I get SAD and heading into winter now so all the more encouragement for me to try
Sometimes I just lay them out on my wood/mesh drying rack if the temperature is warm. Other times I roast them in the oven. My sister puts them on a baking sheet and sets that on top of her wood stove during the winter. They are really good that way.
suzanne knibb...I like to drink pine needle tea, for my vitamin intake during the tough seasons...it helps alot as well
Great.
Wow a Clay spouter!
Thank you.
you can also use the water that you pour out onto your plants.
Indeed! High phosphorus.
Inspiring and informative. Thank you. Getting back in to sprouting will be essential; excellent idea when relying heavily on beans. They become "salad" and vegetable ingredients for everything.
WOW - so much information here thank you so much amazing !!!!!!
Rewatched this as a reference video. SO good.
Beautiful. Thank you for putting this information together! Super cool how you used the plastic cross stitching material! Also now I’m thinking of how I’m going to make my own terra cotta sprouting thingy 😅👍
A lot of very useful information, never would have thought about sprouting nuts. Thank you. I just use a square of screen secured with the canning ring. I also have made my own version of your terra cotta sprouter. I use 5 - 3 or 5 gallon buckets. 3 of the buckets have 1/8 inch holes drilled in them and they get stacked on top of a solid bottom bucket. The very top bucket has 1/4 inch holes. The 3 middle buckets get succession filled with grains and after about 10 - 14 days, my chickens have greens during the winter.
Awesome video! Thank you! ❤
Thank you for this video. I learned alot. I didn't know that you could sprout so many things. I look forward to more from you.
Thanks Angela for reminding me about sprouts. I don't have room to do this, but you reminded me I love sprouts and local grocery doesn't carry them anymore so I'm going to have to search for a place that Carry's them. Video was very instructionable and if I wasn't so old and living in a small space I think I could sprout with the lesson taught. Thank!
What's good about sprouting is that you don't need any space as with growing plants cos you can stack seed towered and cheapest is make own from plastic containers cut and bottoms drilled as in aurora's vlog.instant salad.or microgreens to steam
You can buy a hemp or cotton bag to hang over your sink. A very economical & produce excellent sprouts.
Thanks for the information. I ordered 3 one quart mason jars and a 4 pack of stainless steel rings and strainer tops for $29 from Amazon. I also ordered a couple pounds of broccoli seeds for sprouting from Todds seeds. I am not affiliated with these sourses at all. Just passing on the info I learned. Subscribed
Thankful I found your channel. Going to try this.
Great video! I have been sprouting for a few years now and I learned things I didn't know as well as some tips to improve my methods. Thx :)
Very good! Thanks for all the good info!!
Great information! I love all the ways you introduced and all the things that can be sprouted!!!! Thank you so much
Where did you buy the ceramic pot? Terracota sprouter
thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This video kicked ass thanks for sharing. Two ideas for solving the rust would be bigger sheets of screen (like on a door) with rubber band or getting the plastic lid using a hole saw bit to cut out a specific hole to place that piece of plastic you got.
Awesome video...Great knowledge...Im motivated.
Excellent advice and very clear information. Thank you very much
You are awesome Angela! Thank you!
Thanks for all the good tips for sprouting 🧡
I love my alfalfa sprouts on a cheese sandwich!
Great video! I love that terra cotta sprouter!!!
Awesome info. Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you-especially about the buckwheat.
Excellent information! Thanks!
Hi Esther. While sprouts are great, there is a way to take some of them to the next level with very little effort. Microgreens. In order not to pick one youtuber over another, just do a search on microgreens and you will be amazed at these grow almost anywhere crops.
Sweet lady and I learned a lot. Thank you :)
Plesae show how to dry sprout and packing it for Busniess 9284097318
Love this...thank you
First time sprouting and I had projectile vomiting And diarrhea after eating them! I followed the directions. It said 3-7 days. I did it for 5 days. The last day I left them near a window rather than in a dark closet to try to turn the yellowish plant green. The sprouts weren't smelly or slimy. How can one tell if they've gotten infected. I read that ecoli infection or mold can be common. Thanks for your video!
Thanks for a very informative video. I purchased sprouting covers that screw onto wide mouth jars. Each has a different size mesh depending on what your sprouting. I've sprouted alfalfa and lentils so far. It's a fun thing to do in the winter months. It would be nice to have a list of what you can safely sprout.
Thanks for the video. it was really it was very informative and educational.
Thank you for this video, Angela & Esther! I just sprouted Lentils, and they are delicious! (I know to eat them in small portions! But I didn't know I should cook them a little. I'll try that!)
Hi Joanne! If you are going to eat large amounts it would be better to steam/cook them but in small amounts fresh sprouted lentils are not a big deal. I have a few sprouting seed mixes with some lentils in it that we eat fresh on salads and sandwiches but my larger batches are definitely added to soups and chilli.
Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video.
Very nice!! Thank you!!
I love your trallt honest. And i learned a lot, thank you👍👍😍
Sprouts queen you are
Awesome I will. Sprout more now!
I would like a list of the seeds you have on display. Thank you Gail
Alfalfa
Mung bean
Lentil
Radish
Broccoli
Raw Sunflower seeds
Rye
White wheat
Einkorn grain
White beans
Chili beans
I think those were all :)
Love Sprouts! You might be interested in Isabell Shipard’s book ‘How can I grow and use Sprouts as living food?’
I saw one lady put a paper tower underneath the small seeds in the teracotta sprouter (I think to prevent them from clogging the holes).
Lol ive been obsessed with buckwheat for months now and getting the sprouts big
Unreal
Thank you Soooo much I'm a new bee and very excited to try this? Where do you get your seeds from!
Thanks. Great instruction.
I have seen videos on CZcams where some say put sprouting jars in a dark cool place. What is your thought on sprouting in a dark place? Nice video. Thank you
A toothbrush works great for washing/unplugging the sprouted holes.
I have found a green plastic mesh wide mouth lids that can be used. Amazon has them listed as sprouting jar strainer lid. I have also seen it in some grocery stores. Or use cheesecloth with a mason jar ring.
Thank you for this lovely video!
Debbie in WA Ü
Whoah, she is BEAUTIFUL !
Thank you for sharing your sprouting knowledge. I learned a lot and can't wait to try sprouting pumpkin seeds! Can you let them grow, then eat them? Like you would let broccoli sprouts grow?
I love fresh bean sprouts. Question: When you sprout lentil sprouts will they give a person gas like the lentils do when they are eaten in a soup?
Mint is a good anti gas thing apparently. Fresh or any other way not sure the best/correct.
You go to a lot of trouble with the seed lids,just go online to handy pantry or Amazon and get the green plastic lids...
and make sure that crafting plastic is food grade and BPA free. if so it's a much better choice than stainless steel, which leaches nickel into wet food and causes immune problems. think of how jewelry gives some people blisters unless they buy nickel free things. the US is the only major nation that does not regulate how much free nickel ions are allowed in stainless steel. i just avoid the whole issue by using cheese cloth and a plastic ring or cotton string to hold it in place.
that un-glazed terracotta sprouter is the bomb though. i've never seen one before. beautiful and useful.
Cheryl Taylor ....you are so full of misinformation on Stainless Steel. A knowledgeable person would know all SS is not equal....that’s why they sell SS in different grades. Since most of us don’t have a metrology lab to test SS...but we do have magnets. A true non corrosion SS will repel the magnet. So the moral of the story is not all SS is equal. Link to true food grade SS...hint its begins with the 300 SS grades. Because the higher the grade the more costly. You know the old saying “you get what you pay for”.
www.marlinwire.com/blog/food-grade-stainless-steel-facts
Cheryl Taylor ...oh and you’re being a fan of unglazed terra cotta...you need to know the source of the terra-cotta because it will leach iron if made cheaply. Unglazed pottery made in Mexico...beware.
www.thriftyfun.com/tf62007105.tip.html
Cheryl Taylor ...I have a degree in Chemical Engineering....left the metrology side 20 yrs ago....went to adhesive more chemical side...but I still remember to this day the old magnet trick. If the magnet repels the SS...it’s safe for food and won’t corrode. If it sticks to the SS it’s not food grade material.
@@uhn-uh-bash-id-lee-k-ran it still leaks bozo
THANK you dear, FROM Brazil
Hi Esther! I'm a big fan!
I'm not sure if you are allowed to chose what advertisements play before your videos, but an add for Montsano seeds played right before this video. I'm not sure how you feel about them, but most homesteaders I have spoken with are very much against Montsano, so I figured I should give you a heads up.
I look forward to seeing more videos, your skill of the month club has been most helpful! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I will look into it.
Can you use cheesecloth under the jar rings???
great vid. thanks so much
Thank You Esther!
Thank you
great video! you are very sweet and informative :) thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this. I love your clay seed tower. I just ordered one that is a hexagon shape. Where did you find this little one? ❤also I found I bunch of bulk wheat berries to make flour (I need to buy a mill next) but in the mean time I could try to sprout some wheat. What do you use those sprouted wheat berries with?
Great video!! Love the terra-cotta sprouter! May I ask where I can buy one please? Thanks!!
We had lentil sprouts at dinner tonight. Btw I cut the screen circle out of plastic mesh myself.
you are so sweet, thank you
Thanks for this video. I've always been fascinated by sprouts but I don't like the taste of alfalfa or the texture of bean sprouts do they feel like worms to anyone else? .. . no just me OK then. Anyway I didn't realize there were so many other sorts i could sprout. The broccoli/radish combo sounded like something that would be great on salads so I'm going to start there. Also knowing I don't have to wait until the tail grows to eat the beans will be a big help with that texture problem as I love beans of all sorts.
i need a stainless steel ring Thank U Esther :)
Have you ever sprouted the small pue lentils? the blue green ones?
i'm assuming you have well water or a filtration system. you should use filtered or spring water if you get your water from a city tap that is chlorinated or has fluoride in it.
Hi there! I just sprouted yellow peas this week. The peas have turned brown at the end of day 2. Do you know if this normal? Have they gone bad or are they edible? Thanks!
What flour mill do you use? Maybe you have a video on that.
great info thanks
Excellent! Wanted to know how best to get rid of the hulls after. Esp on mung beans, they just didn't taste great and overpowered the rest of it. 4:20 she drops the solution! Thanks
although, as I understand it from research, we can't 'use' plant enzymes - for anything. They're for the plants, and unfortunately we can't utilize them. I still hear a lot of people espousing this is possible. Do some research though don't take my word for it.
She's so friendly
