Rinse one cup of organic oat groats thoroughly under cool running water.

Place the rinsed oat groats in a clean quart-sized jar and add four cups of filtered water.

Cover the jar with a breathable mesh lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band, and let them soak for 8-12 hours at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

After soaking, drain the water completely from the jar, rinse the groats with fresh water, and drain again.

Invert the jar and prop it at an angle in a bowl or dish to allow excess water to drain and air to circulate.

Rinse and drain the sprouts twice daily, in the morning and evening, for approximately 5-7 days.

You'll observe tiny sprouts emerging from the oat groats, growing longer each day.

Once the sprouts reach about 1/2 to 1 inch in length, they are ready for harvest.

Give them a final rinse and spread them on a clean towel to air dry for a few hours.

Store the dried sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
