Superfood Sprouts

A fdw months ago, I came across a book in the local library about different superfood and that's how I started experimenting in growing mybiw sprouts. The first few attempts weren't effective because I used soil and I had to throw away most part of the sprouts. So, I tried a different method which used jars to grow the tiny size sprouts. 

I started with sterilising the glass jars, as I have used them for other purposes, such as oil infusion and storing dried herbs.
Then I soak the seeds (photographed here are Fenugreek, alfalfa and Japanese Radish) for a day, before draining them and placing the jar upside down to allow the water to drain.
The process of rinsing and draining continues for 5 more days before the final rinse and storing.

Day 0-2:
Day 3-5:
Fenugreek:
Alfalfa:
Japanese Radish:
The only sprouts that I continue planting in soil is the sweet peas. I started the process by soaking the seeds as well, before planting them firmly at the top of a very shallow soil:
All of them are awesome in salad, sandwich and even curries.
