Sweet Dried Teff Sprouts

Do you think that sprouts taste like straw? Try making your own dried teff sprouts - they are sweet and go with almost everything!

Teff is a tiny brown grain. They are usually available at health food stores - if not, ask the store to order them. Specify whole grain.

Instructions
Add 4 tbs. of whole grain teff to a clean sprouting jar with fine mesh cover. Pour purified water to a depth of about 2 inches. After about 4 hours, slowly drain off the water, and rinse twice more with purified water.

Shake the jar to distribute the teff around the inner walls, then lay the jar on its side in a place that does not receive direct sunlight. Shake the jar several times per day, and twice each day spray a bit of purified water into the jar using a plastic spray bottle.

On the third, fourth or fifth day, after the sprouts have grown about 1 or 2 inches, place the jar outside in the sun - the porch or dashboard of your car are good places. Allow the sprouts to dry in the sun for 1 to 2 days, then enjoy this unique nutritious, sweet and inexpensive treat!
