SPROUTING RAW PEANUTS

SPROUTING RAW PEANUTS

Equipment

Wide mouthed glass jar 1 litre capacity

Glass/Stainless Steel drip container

Disinfected cotton cloth and rubber band

Ingredients:

250 gms raw organic peanuts 

Purified water

Process:

Place the raw peanuts into the glass jar

Pour the water into the glass jar and allow the peanuts to soak overnight to re-dehydrate

Next morning pour out the soaking water from the night before. Wash the peanuts in the glass jar itself, without removing them. Drain the water.

Place the cotton cloth on the mouth of the jar and fasten with the rubber band

Place the jar in the drip container at an incline so that there is no water logging

Place both, the drip tray and the soaking jar under the sun on a window cill or your balcony

During the day, repeat the rinsing process to keep the peanuts hydrated. Do this two-three times based on the weather. More rinsing and draining if the weather is hot. Less is the weather is mild. Ensure that the peanuts are not water logged. They just need to be wet enough for germination. 

2-4days is enough to see the germinated peanuts. Use in your recipes as directed.
