Things You'll Need:
- Amaranth seeds
- Cheesecloth
- Colander
- Glass jar
- Light cloth
-
Step 1
Place a piece of cheesecloth inside your colander to prevent the tiny seeds from being washed away. Place the amaranth on top. Rinse the seeds thoroughly, and then transfer them into a wide-mouthed glass jar. Cover the seeds with water and soak for just 2 hours.
-
Step 2
Drain and rinse the seeds again and place them in the jar. Cover with a light cloth. Place the jar in a cool location out of direct sunlight to begin sprouting. Rinse and drain the seeds every 4 to 6 hours.
-
Step 3
Rinse one last time after two days or when the sprouts have grown at least 1/4-inch roots. Drain the sprouts and store them in the refrigerator for no more than 1 week.
