Read about the sprout problem only this morning and hence am late in replying.  Anyway, one of the best ways to grow sprouts is as follows: 1:  Get a shallow plastic tray and matching plastic dish like a large baking dish which is at least 2" to 3" in depth. 2:  Drill fine holes at the bottom of the "baking" dish. 3:  Place this dish with holes in it on the shallow tray 4:  Spread the beans or other seeds in the dish 5:  Spray water on the seeds so as to soak them and kep them partially covered with water 6:  Place a piece of moistened cotton cloth over the dish (Make sure that this is kept moist all the time by spraying with water from time to time i.e. whenever it tends to get dry) 7:  Voila!  You will have the sprouts ready in a few days. 8:  Grow several trays of sprouts a few days apart so that you have the sprouts everyday.   Now, besides beans and daals, alfalfa (cow grass) seeds make very good sprouts and just wonderful for salads.  Highly recommended for good health.   If you are in to salads, add Centella Asiatica (Hydrocotle Asiatica or Gotu Kola or Mani Muni) leaves to the recipe.  Great for easing hypertension, as an anti-oxidant and promoting longeivity.   Anjan
