How do I Grow Seeds in Paper Towels?

Sprouting seeds on paper towels can be a great way to get them started, watch how they sprout or add a bit of nutrition to your salad. It's easy to sprout seeds, but if you want them to grow into full plants, you'll need to eventually transfer the seeds to soil, either in the ground or in a pot. In just a few days, you can sprout seeds using wet paper towels and a plastic sandwich bag.
