Put one to three Table spoons of Grain, Beans, nuts in a quart Jar and half fill the jar with tepid water. Cover and let it stand over night: Next morning cover the jar with a double layer of cheese cloth, or nylon net.
Now with out removing this cover, simply drain off this soak water into a Jar. Do not discard it, mix it with fruit or vegetable juices, use it as soup stock, Use it to cook rice or vegetables in. it contains valuable water-soluble vitamins and minerals.
Now rinse the seeds or grains with fresh water not hot not cold just luke warm. This second water you can use to water your plants. The plants will love it.
After rinsing the seeds, invert the jar or tilt slightly so that the moisture that is left can excape, but the seeds will have a source of oxygen. Now put the seed jar in a dark place rest then in this sink in a tilted position covered with a paper bag or cloth.
