You need:

  • a germination jar with a sieve integrated in the lid
  • millet
  • water

That's how it's done:

  1. Soak the millet in three times its volume of cold water overnight
  2. store the glass in a tilted position in a light location
  3. in the following days, rinse the millet with water twice a day and then put the glass back in the tilted position
  4. after only a short time you should recognize the first germs
  5. the sprouted millet is already ready to eat in this state
  6. if you wait longer, even a small root base will form that you could plant in the ground
  7. depending on the desired size, rinse the millet one last time before harvesting the grains and adding them to your food

Storage requirements

Millet only germinates under the right temperature and humidity. Make sure the grains are always covered with water. In addition, the glass must definitely have holes so that the oxygen supply is guaranteed. Dried millet will keep in the fridge for about a week. To extend shelf life, dry the grain in the sun after germination. When it comes to cereals, it is definitely worth preparing large portions in advance, which should, however, be used up in the course of the week.

Advantages over other grain varieties

In contrast to rye, corn and C., millet has an incredibly extensive variety of species. There are countless varieties available, from brown millet to mild golden millet, all of which taste different. This always ensures variety at the dining table, even in germinated form.

Health Benefits

Millet is healthy anyway. However, the health benefits increase during germination, since the biological value of the vitamins and minerals increases. The body can thus absorb them better.
