ABSTRACT:
Process for growing sprouts from seeds comprises circulating the water in which the seeds are germinated continuously for 8 hours so that the seeds are continually germinating in fresh water. The germinated sprouts are then repeatedly allowed to drain and stand for approximately 4-8 hours and then soaked for approximately 15 minutes. For the first 48 hours the sprouts are lightly worked during the soakings by being separated by the user's fingers. Between 48 and 72 hours the sprouts are heavily worked and are submerged during the soaking cycle, and the floating husks are removed from the container in which the sprouts are soaked by skimming the container while the sprouts are submerged. Between 72 and 144 hours, in addition to the skimming, after each soaking the sprouts are removed from the container and the container cleaned. Also after 72 hours and 96 hours the sprouts in each container are split in approximately equal portions and each of the portions are placed in separate containers. Therefore, the sprouts germinated in a single container ultimately fills four containers by the time the sprouts are ready for harvesting so that the depth of the sprouts growing in a container remains relatively constant.
