Germinate seeds is to provide an easy way for vitamins, minerals and trace elements for your bird and the bird love them. Do not let yourself be intimidated by all the different ideas for directions. There are thousands of different recommendations. The good news is that all the work so feel free to experiment. The most important thing is "Just do it!" Vitamins, minerals and trace elements are released during germination. Cabbage process is basically the beginning of the seed becomesa plant. However, not limited to germinate the seeds. Seeds, sprouted grains and legumes as sources. You will begin to swell when soaked in water. The germination starts, and will change the nutritional value of the seed. A particular innovation is to increase the protein level.
Seed germination and equipment kits of seeds germinated (if necessary) can be purchased at shops healthier. Seed sprouts are basically jars with lids, which allows the flow of air (wire mesh).Simple dinner plates can be used instead of seed-sprouters as described in the directions below. Some good sprouting sources for beginners are sunflower seeds, mung beans, lentils and wheat berries. Other sprouting sources are amaranth, azuki, alfalfa, barley, buckwheat, canary grass, corn, popcorn, millet, oats, rice, rye, triticale, kamut, spelt, almonds, broccoli seeds, cabbage seeds, kale seeds, fenugreek seeds, teff, pumpkin seeds, radish seeds, quinoa, clover, garbanzo (Chickpeas) beans. As mentioned previously, there are several methods for sprouting. The key elements of the simple process are described below.

One word of caution, sprouts have a very short shelf life and can be dangerous if they die.
The process is very forgiving, and so there are different descriptions of the process, all the work. If you use small seeds germinate, then step 2, a few minutes. For example, buckwheat requires only 15-30 minutes to soak, while barley has soaked for 8-14 hours. Step 5 depends on the seeds germinate and can not last as long as 24 hours. For example, sunflowers sprout normally in about 18 hours, while the alfalfa is 6-8 days. Justthe seeds starts to grow a little tail then it can be fed to your bird. If you wait too long, it will grow a big root and lose its nutrients. The small tail or "short sprout" is a sign that it is ready to be fed to your bird. A "long sprout" is typical of a sprout for human consumption. Also some sprouters prefer to rinse with an antibacterial solution such as Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) or a very diluted bleach solution instead of regular tap water. In my opinion this isn't necessary but it doesn't affect the process. You can refrigerate sprouted seeds for a couple days. However, it is recommended that you rinse them daily until they're used to remove the harmful by-products of the sprouting process.
