How to Sprout Quinoa

Steps

1. Soak Quinoa. Using a fine-mesh strainer, thoroughly wash the seeds in fresh cool water. Pick out any debris or tiny stones and discard. Transfer the seeds into a wide-mouthed mason jar. Cover the quinoa with 2-3 times the amount of cool water and soak for 30 minutes.
2. Rinse and Drain. Rinse and drain the quinoa seeds thoroughly using a fine mesh sieve. You will need to rinse and drain the seeds twice each day, every 8-12 hours, while they're sprouting. This is to keep them healthy, fresh and hydrated.
3. Sprout. Pop the quinoa back into the jar and cover with the sprouting lid. Turn the jar upside down and place at an angle in a bowl, so that any residual water can escape. They'll start to sprout tiny shoots in 2-3 days. Keep out of direct sunlight. Remember to rinse and drain them twice each day (every 8-12 hours).
4. Harvest. After 2-3 days your quinoa should now have grown tiny tails. To harvest, give the sprouts a final rinse and drain well before using. Store in a lidded container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
