Steps of cultivation

1. Wash and dab seeds. Then transfer to the sprouting container of your choice. However, glass sprinklers should not be used as the seeds in them become very slimy

2. The sprouts must be soaked in water 2 to 3 times every day and then turned so that air can circulate 

4. The seeds sprout after 3 days and are ready to harvest after a maximum of 7 days

5. Wash the sprouts with cool, clear water after harvesting and store them in a cool place
