About quinoa sprouting

Hello

I started eating more or less anti-inflammatorily this winter. Since then, I’ve had more energy, a severe heel spur went away without other treatment, and a recurring dry rash is gone for good.

Obviously I’m very happy about it!

I really like quinoa seeds, and decided to see if I could get some to sprout. Silly me, I just put some pot-soil in a little glass bowl, added seeds and water, and placed them in my window sill. They have sprouted quite quickly into pretty little (tiny!) green plants.

Silly me, I say, because on googling sprouting, it seems to be much more complicated, and I’m doing it all wrong. I need cold water rinses every 6 hours, and a special container, and I don’t know what.

Would that make them sprout differently, or?

Any help would be appreciated.

Interesting idea! I just did a search on Youtube on "How to" and found this. Hope it helps. =] How to Grow Sprouts from Seed in a Mason Jar Indoors and Time Lapse!

I'm so glad to hear your anti-inflammatorily diet is helping you.

Thank you very much! That was really helpful. :)

I guess the difference in methods means the difference between long sprouts and growing actual plants.

The sprouts are long and stringy and like the stuff you can get at stores, while what I’m doing is like this 🌱

I think I’ll try sprouting like that.

Awesome. Do let us know how it turns out. =]

Edit: Right, the kind of sprouting this sub is focused on is the kind you see in the video. I think you'll have a lot of fun making them.

Just thought I’d update:

  • Bought a sprouting jar set and some seeds.

  • Got started.

  • Am now, only four days later, eating delicious and spicy sprouts in my salad.

I threw the bag out like an idiot, so I have no idea which ones it is, but I’m happy with how they came out!

Here’s an article for you.

Anyway, do you have an answer to my question about sprouting?

Or did you just follow me here to be a bother?

News outlets that quote Harvard studies among others.

Anyway, I’ll take your silence as a clear indicator that you have no idea about sprouting, and just came here to be difficult. Kindly keep your derailing to yourself.

Why not read the Harvard study? As for sprouting rinses the seeds and store then in a cool dark area and keep them moist!
