HOW TO SPROUT NUTS, SEEDS, GRAINS, AND BEANS
There are many sprouting kits which you mean to use. Or you can use a mason jar.
GET a quart-sized (or larger) mason jar. Remove the solid middle insert of the lid, and cut a piece of cheesecloth or breathable mesh to fit inside. Or use a sprouting jar.
FILL one-third of the jar with nuts, seeds, grains, or beans, and fill the rest of the jar with warm, filtered water. Screw the lid on with a cheesecloth or a breathable mesh screen in place.
SOAK for a few seconds, getting everything wet.
DRAIN/RINSE Pour the soaking water out of the jar, fill with fresh water, replace the lid, and rinse well by shaking the jar, and drain.
INVERT the jar and lay at an angle so that air can circulate, and the water can drain off. Allow sitting in the light.
REPEAT this process, rinsing every few hours, or at least twice daily.
WAIT In 1 to 4 days, the sprouts will be ready. Sprouts vary from 1/8-inch to 2-inches long. When ready, rinse sprouts well, drain, and store in a jar (with the solid part of the lid replaced) in the fridge.
ENJOY within 2 to 3 days. Sprouts are a fabulous nutrient-rich food for you and your parrot.
If the sprouts start to smell, discard, and try again.
