  Basic Sprouting Instructions: Place in a roomy container such as a quart
  (using up to 1 teaspoon of seed) or gallon jar (up to 3 tablespoons of
  seed). Soak in warm water 4 to 6 hours using enough water to keep seeds
  covered with water. Cover with a loose woven fabric, nylon stocking or
  mesh secured down by elastic or a rubber band. Rinse and thoroughly drain
  2-3 times daily until sprouts are of desired length. Sprouting them in
  indirect sunlight will help them develop green leaves. Swish out seed
  caps in a basin of water if desired.

  Seeds for sprouting should be soaked, prior to sprouting for 5 minutes
  in warm water of pH6-7 with household bleach at the rate of 2 tablespoons
