Guest guest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi Shar, The reason your sprouts were wilted is because they get too dry. You could have probably perked them up if you put them in water. The best way to process your sprouts is giving them a ride in a salad spinner. If you don't have one you should get one. Don't buy a cheap one, you're going to be using it a lot. If you don't have a salad spinner, put them in a stainer and shake, shake, shake to get them as dry as you can. them wrap them in a clean kitchen towel for one to two hours. then package them to go into the fridge. I store my in zip lock containers (not bags). I fold a paper towel on the bottom. Don't crowd you sprouts, they need to breath. ew wilted sprouts?? Hello all! I'm new here and just started growing alfalfa sprouts in the jar method. I hope you can help me with my problem. After I wash them and lay them out in a strainer with a paper towel to dry for 10-12 hours, they are all wilted!! Why?! What am I doing wrong? :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
