GREAT question! I appreciate you asking this, and have updated the post with additional information about avoiding mold and fungus.It’s very important to begin with a clean jar before sprouting. Excess moisture is the enemy of sprouts, so rinse and drain the sprouts thoroughly every 12 hours during the sprouting process. When the sprouts are ready, transfer them to a sealed container with a paper towel on the bottom to absorb excess moisture. Plan to enjoy them in a day or two. Thanks again for your comment! ~Eliza

Sunnie,
Can you put a drain strainer in the sink drain so the hulls don’t go down? Good luck!

I try very hard to trap all the hulls (and potential “late starters”) when I rinse. It’s very time-consuming, and a few have gotten away in spite of my best efforts.
Am I worrying about nothing?

To sprout 2 to 3 teaspoons of alfalfa seeds, I’d suggest a jar in the 18-24 ounce range so that you have plenty of space for rinsing, air circulation and seed growth. Hope this helps!
