welcome back to moore approve I James and today I'm trying a new experiment so
I'm gonna see if I can get some lentil sprouts I'm also going to see if I can
get some green pea shoots going to see if I can take coriander seeds see if I
can get those to sprout and I'm going to see if I can grow some red beans
I am also starting some green onions these have already had 24 hours
scallions I guess you just soak them for a couple of hours in water and then you
can transplant these into dirt or whatever media that you want to grow it
in I may take one of these and try to grow it aeroponically
we're going to let these soak for 24 hours I'm going to go ahead and put
these in a cool dark place I'm going to drain this off and cover it with a damp
paper towel in my spice rack I found these mustard seeds
day 3 update guys the lentils are doing fantastic I look at these two to three times a day
see if they look dry or not as they start looking like they're drying out I
go ahead and hit them with some water so right here are my 10 plus year old mustard seeds
some of these are actually starting to sprout but I don't know if they're going
to make it all the way or not the peas are doing great they're all starting to
sprout and it's working pretty well in this container super crazy
lots of nice sprouts in there and I'm actually going to give these more
surface area so they have more room to grow and I'm going to look for any that
didn't really germinate and then pull those oop one got away we do have a
number of sprouts on these but again these are like 10 years old and later on
which I'm not going to show on camera I think this has enough roots that I can
get this bad boy planted and these are the scallions or the green onions that's
four days so lots of good growth some new shoots coming up through here so
pretty happy about that I'm actually going to turn these peas into
hopefully microgreens so we're going to see how that works out
so we'll check back on this tomorrow this is my day 5 update as you can see
my mustard seeds are doing pretty well I'm actually going to be leaving these
out in the open now I think they're I think they're tall enough the peas that
I put in the soil they are starting to turn into microgreens you can see some
of them are sprouting up so that it's always a bonus I'm just going to keep
those nice and moist and I will probably be leaving these out as well
but these are our green onions our scallions that we planted in here they
have a nice root system they're very firm and sturdy they have a lot of new
growth and it's been pretty quick and this onion seems to be doing pretty good
there's more green starting to shoot out of that so he is rooted in as well and I
saved the best for last these were the lentils this is five days
with lentil sprouts so I'm going to call this food I'm actually going to cook
this up and eat this after we film this is just super impressive growth and
probably the easiest thing that I have ever grown was dried lentils from a
grocery store day 6 update the mustard microgreens are doing
exceptionally well after being exposed to light for the coriander I have a
number of these seeds which are actually starting to sprout so I'm going to get these into
some soil and see how well they grow from there so an update on my pea shoot
I'm going to get in a little bit more detail on this when I do my final
synapses on the final filming day which is probably going to be just in a moment
here it's only today seven this is the synapses of everything that I showed you
everything that I had started and planted grew except for the red beans
the red beans they just had a foul odor to them I threw them outside on day 2
so other than those everything that I purchased from the store has been
growing and growing quite well the cilantro I have a whole bunch of sprouts
in here this is just coriander seeds I'm going to put these into some soil and then
I will have a great supply of cilantro the green onions super easy to do you
can also take and wrap the roots of your green onions when you buy them from the
store and a damp paper towel keep that paper towel moist in your fridge and
when you get down to the point where you use them you can just go ahead and plant
those directly into some moist soil and you don't have
soak the roots for any period of time in water so you can just bypass that step
and you're all ready to plant the lentils I don't have those here to show
you because I ate them all I had done these lentils as sprouts but I am going
to be repeating that test doing the same soaking process for 24 hours and then
I'm going to be doing these as microgreens and I'm looking forward to
that if you guys are interested in how those turn out let me know and I'll
throw out a video on it now the mustard seed which I had turned
into microgreens just on some paper towels these have done absolutely
fantastic let's see if we can get this into a little bit more user friendly
area the mustard microgreens worked really really excellent looking forward
list they had a little bit about a little bit of a kick to them now to the
peas the peas I had a whole bunch of these peas sprout which I was pretty
impressed by I didn't think I was actually gonna get any of these peas to
sprout especially after the red beans did not work out but I did get a whole
bunch of these to sprout however I did not have 100% germination rate on it and
something that you guys need to be aware of if you are growing any of these items
as sprouts or microgreens and there's a very foul odor coming from your
container you don't want to eat those you have some decay it's a bacterial
growth something's going on with it throw it out start all over again be
very selective with the seeds that you're planning on using pre wash them
very very well separate out the ones that don't look very good pick out the
ones that haven't started to sprout and then only use the ones that are going to
be sprouting this is the case with these particular pea shoots I could let these
go and I would have shoots that I could pick from if I wanted to but there's a
bad odor coming from this container which tells me that I have some non
germinated Peas still in here and they are breaking down in the soil so I
really don't want to consume this I'd rather be safe instead of sorry you can
always make your own decisions on what you feel confident with eating and what
you should not be eating but I hope you found this informative I am going to be
feasting on microgreens for the foreseeable future until I get bored
with this process but this is the easiest indoor gardening thing that you
could possibly do but thanks for watching more prove to everyone I'm
