All you need is a mason jar.

Growing sprouts is super easy, super inexpensive, super nutritious, and makes a super great project for those who aren’t home often and have a hard time taking care of other plants.

Simply pick your seeds, such as “alfalfa, broccoli, buckwheat, cabbage, chickpea, garlic, lentil, oats, yellow mustard, peas, onion, radish, sunflower, fennel, arugula, pink kale, fenugreek, wheat, or wheatgrass.” Soak them overnight, and then let ’em sprout!
