🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: rice

Quinoa is high in protein and nutrients, while rice is often more affordable.

Rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa with water using a fine mesh strainer and a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove the soapy coating.

Place the rinsed quinoa in a mason jar.

Fasten a coffee filter or cheesecloth to the top of the jar with a rubber band or string to prevent dust from entering while allowing it to breathe.

Roll the jar gently in your hands to help the quinoa stick to the insides of the jar.

Set the jar in a spot out of direct sunlight for 24 to 48 hours, rinsing the quinoa once or twice daily while waiting for it to sprout.

Once little tails have sprouted, rinse the quinoa again using the lid of the mason jar to help strain it out.

Fill the jar with fresh water, preferably filtered or spring water, and replace the coffee filter or cheesecloth over the top.

Set the jar in a dark place for another 24 to 48 hours, checking for bubbles forming among the quinoa.

Strain out the quinoa using a fine mesh strainer and a coffee filter or cheesecloth, and transfer the liquid to a new jar.

Label the jar with a date and refrigerate for up to one week.
