Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup dried peas green peas are my favorite
  • 3 cups cold water

Instructions
 

  • Place the peas into the glass jar and cover with the water. Then, either loosely screw on the lid or place a cheesecloth over the top of the jar and secure it with a rubber band. Leave the peas to soak for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Once the peas are soaked, drain them and return them to the jar.
  • Next, cover the jar. You can use either the cheesecloth method or a mesh sprouting lid. Then, place the jar on a sprouting stand or simply lay it on its side - which you choose is down to your personal preference.
  • Rinse and drain the peas once a day for 2-3 days, or until you are happy with the size of the sprouts.
  • Enjoy!
