Sprouted Seed

• 2 parts oats
• 1 part whole wheat

Fill a large jar about half full with seed and fill with warm water. Let the jar sit about 12-24 hours then drain seeds and rinse with cold water. At this time they have a lot of nutritional value but it increases once they germinate. In addition to the jar you might want to buy the special lids that are located in the health food stores to germinate sprouts. Rinse seeds about two times a day. Make sure the seeds do not get sour so mix them around in the jar. Serve seeds moist not wet.
