Homemade azuki sprouts - WIP

Sprouts come in many types and taste.
It's easy to make your own sprouts, and if you want to take it to a level of  total self sufficiency, you grow your own plants and harvest seeds during the summer. Store the seeds until you want to use them during winter, and the cycle is closed.

Day 1

Today I'll make my own azuki sprouts from some Azuki Beans.

It's the first time I sprout azuki, I don't know exactly how much space they need.
So to be on the safe side, I take a large glass with lid, so I'm sure the sprouts have the space they need.

This is just for fun and experience, so I take 2 tablespoons of beans, and add water, plenty of water.
I close the lid (it's better with gaze or a cheese cloth), but I didn't have that at the moment.

Now the seeds soake in water over night (24 hours).
Let's see how they look tomorrow...

Day 2

The beans are already much bigger, than yesterday.

The water has turned slightly brown - depending on room temperature it's perhaps a good idea to change the water I the middle of the day - after 12 hours. I'll try that, but don't think it'll make a difference.

Well, I sift the beans and rinse with clean water, and rinse the jar as well.

Now I put the drained beans back in the jar. 

I put on the lid, but I do NOT close it tight.

Put it to "rest" at room temperature,  but not in direct sunlight.

And again we wait...
