Ingredients

  • 23 cup quinoa (160 mL)
  • 2 cups distilled water, cold (500 mL)

Method

  • Place the quinoa and water in a 10-inch (25 cm) round or square casserole dish or glass bowl with lid.
  • Using a spoon or spatula, tap down on the seeds to ensure all are completely immersed in water.
  • Cover and soak them for 40 minutes at room temperature.
  • Drain the quinoa and rinse thoroughly.
  • Return the quinoa to the original dish and replace the cover, leaving a slight opening for air.
  • Place a kitchen towel over to cover completely.
  • Allow the sprouts to rest for 8 to 10 hours.
  • Repeat the rinse-and-rest process 1 to 2 more times depending on how long you like your sprouts.
  • The shorter the sprouts, the longer they last in the refrigerator.
  • Be sure to use longer sprouts quickly, optimally within 24 hours.
