Hi

I was wonderind what types of seeds to soak? For how long? Should it be heated? How is it served? In a bowl or on a Flat plate? How long is it good for before spoiling? I have been just soaking the mix I have but the pellets and other stuff just get nasty. Also I have heard about sprouting them too. Does anyone know about that too. Thanks Dave

You can use bird seed, alfafa, suflower, pea, the list is endless.

 

Pop some seeds in a jar (don't fill too full, they will swell). Cover jar with a stocking, and put an elastic band around the mouth of jar to hold the stocking on. Fill jar with water.

 

Leave for an hour. Empty out water. Put jar in a dark spot (on an angle so any more water can drain out.)

 

Rinse with water twice a day. Should sprout within a couple of days.

 

You must rinse with water at least twice a day, otherwise they will go 'sour' and smelly

 

It is also advised to add a product, such as aviclens, to stop the build up of bacteria. (Vetafarm's Aviclens is available from some pet stores in Australia) contributed by BBC member Daz
