If you haven’t tried this before, I recommend giving it a go. Chia Seed sprouts are dead easy to grow indoors with just a paper towel and water and are great for adding to hot or cold meals. There are various ways to enjoy Chia Seeds but the one I like best is sprouting Chia Seeds on Paper Towels.
Chia Seeds are packed with fiber, protein, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, antioxidants and various micronutrients. You can pick up a 1kg of organic Chia Seeds for around £8 and this will keep in Chia Sprouts for ages. Sprouting Chia Seeds on Paper Towels is an ultra-easy way to get the most out of Chia Seeds.
Simply wet a paper towel, sprinkle the seeds on top, spray them with water, keep them damp by spraying twice a day, wait around a week, then snip them off when you want them. That’s it. They don’t need soil and they don’t need light. When you have snipped off all you need, you add the left overs to the compost heap. Nice, clean, easy, nutritious handy indoor food supply.
You might be able to find low-cost Chia Sprouts and other Sprouts in supermarkets, but sprouting them yourself makes it easier to access them totally fresh each day and avoids all the supermarket packaging and transportation. Sprouting from your own bag of seeds will also work out cheaper.
