MUSTARD SEEDS FOR SPROUTING

DIRECTIONS FOR SPROUTING

Mustard seed can be sprouted in jars, trays, sieve or basket but are best done in a clay saucer and placed straight onto the table at meal times. Soak the seeds for 4-5 hrs. Care should be taken with spraying the seeds to make sure they do not get waterlogged. Moisten them 2-3 times a day for the 4-7 days they take to sprout and eat them at 2-5 cm. Mustard increases saliva flow so it is often eaten at the start of a meal to stimulate the digestive juices. Mustard has many therapeutic uses: it is excellent at stimulating perspiration to reduce fevers and relieving colds and flues; it relieves congestion, headaches and inflammation and will stimulate blood flow to the body surface and skin.
