Okay, no one is allowed to laugh or say they got seasick watching this.... No clue why, but I decided to try this by myself and halfway thru realized holding camera with one hand and demonstrating with the other is probably not how many cooking shows are taped
You can use sprouting jars and bags, but I have found the trays to be the easiest and least likely to have issues with rancid sprouts or bacteria. Just so easy to clean and use, completely rinse clean. But that is just my opinion, you can try any sprouting container you like!
But the thought and intent of hopefully this being helpful is there!!
We went to Wegmans yesterday and I checked out pricing for the lentils and peas that I had purchased in the 'regular' aisles versus those of the same thing but packaged just for sprouting. I paid no one then $1.78 for the 1 lb bags of peas or lentils (pea were the most 'expensive'). I found lentils for 98cents a 1 lb bag. Here are photos of the shelf stickers so you can see the crazy prices for the 'sprouting' items...
The chick peas / garbanzo peas I purchased were $1.18 a lb bag, here is the price for an 8 oz pouch of sprouting...
Again, the peas were the highest at $1.78 a lb bag, but the sprouting peas for an 8 oz size...
And lentils were were 98cents for the regular (greenish/brown color) and I think $1.18 for the red lentils... mixed lentils for a 4 oz sprouting pack... sorry, that one is a horrid pic....
So onto the video... get your popcorn, its long and boring... and done one hand on camera phone, one hand demonstrating, so apologize for the way too close up shots total babble side note, I love my new S4 camera, the video has the option to pause and restart like a real camcorder, I was impressed.... yeah, fine, may not take much!!!
