What is a Sprout?

Within 24 hours after you begin sprouting, a sprout grows up and three roots grow downward. Eat them when the sprout is the length of the kernel, about ¼ inch long. To obtain a sprout of this length takes about 48 hours. You can eat everything- wheat, sprouts and roots. To retard further growth, refrigerate when the sprouts are at their peak condition for eating.

On a hot, dry day sprouts may need more rinsing to keep them from drying out.

The sprouting process continues a little even while stored in the refrigerator, because it is a cool weather crop.
