Sprouting Seeds on Cotton Wool
Mar 16th, 2008 by Jane Blogs
You might be able to see that we grew our sprouts from fresh peas, in a little plastic food container.
We’re going to have a go at using the seeds from beans too.
They may as well be of some interest to the kids, since they certainly don’t eat them.
You will need:
- Small waterproof container or saucer
- Cotton wool
- Fresh peas or other seeds
What to do:
- Cover the bottom of your container with cotton wool and put a few peas on top, then just add water.
- You must keep the cotton wool damp at all times.
Other thoughts:
- You can use most types of seeds for this.
- Alfalfa is a good one, as it can be eaten later in salads.
