Put 2/3 Cup of seed* into a bowl or into your Sprouter. Empty the seeds into your sprouter if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with cool (60-70°) water. Rinse and Drain again in 8-12 hours. We usually stop here. We like our sprouts small. Depending on your climate and the time of year you are sprouting and most importantly your personal preference - You may Rinse and Drain again at 8-12 hour intervals for several days. However - we prefer to sprout only to the point where most of the seeds have sprouted tiny (1/4 inch) roots, which is typically after just 2 or 3 Rinse and Drain cycles. As always, we suggest that you taste your crop at EVERY RINSE - including the very first - just after the Soak period. The soaked seeds are already alive and though they may not be their most nutritious they are still very nutritious - they are already without enzyme inhibitors (a very good thing indeed) so they'll digest themselves and nourish your cells without requiring anything from your body! Grow them for as long as you like (as long as you continue to Rinse and Drain every 8-12 hours) and find out for yourself when they are most delicious! If you grow for a week you'll have grass growing as well as roots. Experiment! Have Fun! It's All Good! Harvest The goal during the final 8-12 hours is to minimize the surface moisture of your sprouts - they will store best in your refrigerator if they are dry to the touch. Refrigerate Note: Grains do not store well in refrigeration so you should try to grow just what you need. It isn't actually that they store poorly, it is just that grains are cool weather crops, so though they slow down quite a bit, they continue to grow - even in the refrigerator. * If using Single Harvest Pack use the whole bag. Remember that the yield will be approximately 1.5:1, so in theory you can start with as much as 2/3 as much dry seed as your Sprouter has capacity. | Description Rye is a quick and easy, sweet sprout favored by children and adults alike. Snack on it, grind it and throw a bunch into homemade breads, add to stir frys or salads. This is the same seed used to grow grass for which is found on our Grass page. If you want to make Rejuvelac we suggest (and use ourselves) Rye, but any Grain can be used.
