Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Okay, I put my first ever batch of sprouts in to soak. it is the 5 part salad mix from handy pantry. I will get up in the morning and rinse them before work. The only thing I didn't like was that the big 5 lb can I bought was very hard to open. I thought it would have one of those rings with an aluminum foil top that you just pull up, but no, it was the old fashioned kind that you have to open with a can opener. Both my manual and my electric can openers are not very good, I had to go have my son help me get the can open. I had hoped to reuse the can one day, but the edges are too sharp now. This can will last me for a really long time, I hope it doesn't go bad or anything. I hope my sprouts turn out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 HI. I have a big LocknLock container. I poured all my seeds from the 5 lb can into the LocknLock container. Stays fresh, no problem. Look into this. Or any kind of GOOD container with secure lid. You'll be glad you did.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm with EW-mason jars are wonderful for storing seeds. I have a shelf all lined up with pretty fabric screwed onto the lid rings-looks very inviting, and always gets comments from visitors. Looks as pretty as a shelf full of knick knacks, but edible and functional, lol Sent from my iPad On Feb 24, 2012, at 9:36 AM, " Ernest Willingham " wrote: > I store my seeds in quart mason jars. > ew > > Re: They're soaking > > HI. > > I have a big LocknLock container.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 , The best method of seed storage is to transfer to glass jars. I have a variety of mason jars or recycled mayonnaise jars (great) full of seeds and beans in my freezer. You can write on the jar or lid with a Sharpie permanent ink pen or use a canning label. Masking tape, which is what I use for everything else in the kitchen, may not last in the freezer. Use the can for something else - maybe run masking tape around the sharp edge. Good luck!
