Kamut wheat seed is used in many wheat-grass drinks for its nutritional value and other healthy benefits. If you are considering growing your own grass to use in recipes, or if you just want to demonstrate the grass-growing process to a child, Kamut wheat seeds are a good choice because they grow fairly fast and are easy to maintain. Kamut is a fairly simple grass to grow, and can be done indoors or outdoors with a few basic supplies.
Instructions
1. Pour water into a shallow pan and spread seed in the water. Make sure that the seeds are spread out thin and are not all bunched up together
2. Allow the seed to sit in the water for six to 12 hours to soften them and start the sprouting process.
3. Drain the pan and store the seeds in a flat container with a little bit of water. Rinse them two times a day for several days until they start to show growth.
4. Fill a growing tray with rich top soil and spread the seeds on top. The seeds can be spread densely, but not so much that they overlap.
5. Water the soil thoroughly, but do not make it soggy.
6. Cover the growing tray for two days, then uncover and place in an indirect light area.
7. Water as needed to keep soil damp. Leave in place for about a week.
