It’s very easy to prepare Sprouts. You need to soak seeds in a container of water. Keep them soaked overnight. Make sure that the volume of water is at least thrice the amount of sprouts. In the morning, wash the sprouts with fresh water and tie them in a soft cloth (cotton or woven). The seeds take 2-4 days to sprout. In summers, don’t forget to sprinkle water on the cloth in which the seeds are tied. This ensures that the seeds have enough oxygen and water to sprout.
