Product Description: Place two tablespoons of seeds or 1/2 cup of legumes/grains in a sprouting jar with three times as much water as sees. Soak overnight. For many small seeds, five hours of soaking is sufficient. Drain the water from the jar. Rinse seeds in fresh, luke-warm water and drain again. For well drained seeds/sprouts, lay jar at an angle in a warm (70 F), dark place. Rinse and drain seeds twice a day. In hot and dry weather, you may need to rinse the seeds three times a day. In very humid weather, the seeds should be kept in a dry place. Turn jar over gently. Overturning the jar rapidly will cause shifting in the sprouting seeds. This can break the tender shoots and kill the sprout. This breakage causes the sprout to spoil. Sprouts should be ready to eat in 3-5 days, depending on the seed used."

Average Rating:
Rating: - Didn't fit my jars
Bought these lids and was disapointed that they didn't fit my wide mouthed KERR brand canning jars. In the end, just used the mesh pieces with the normal screw top that came with the jar. Plastic pieces wouldn't thread right onto the jar.
Rating: - Poor description
Nutricity and NOW Foods have not responded to inquiries on whether the Sprouting Lids fit REGULAR or WIDE mouth Mason Jars.
Rating: - Does the job
Nice inexpensive alternative to the more expense all plastic version. I bought a dozen of these for jar sprouting. Saves you the effort of cutting your own little screen discs to fit a canning lid. The screen is removable yet fits tightly, so it doesn't pop out when opening the jar.
