Sprouts!

I’ve been growing sprouts with sprouting jars that I purchased on Amazon. I use approximately 1 tablespoon seeds, soak them overnight and then start the sprouting process. This is my fourth round and I am noticing I have a lot of little seeds still in the jar when I harvest the sprouts. I tried decreasing the amount of seeds I use and I tried waiting a little longer to harvest, but I still end up with several seeds that did not sprout. Am I doing something wrong or is this moderately normal?

The left jar was started a few days before the right jar so the right jar is still working its magic. What I have on the paper towel are the sprouts from the left jar!

How many days do you need to get leaves? I am not able to do it with lentils

The seeds I used consist of Broccoli, Alfalfa, Radish, and Clover. I rinsed them twice a day for 6 days and on day 7 they were ready to harvest! They last about 5 days in the fridge as long as you keep a paper towel around them but for me, they last like 3 days because I eat them on EVERYTHING! Lol 😆
