Alfalfa Seeds full of nutrients, and the best way to get the full spectrum is to sprout alfalfa seeds. After only 3-4 days and minimal effort, you get these microgreens, sprouting alfalfa seeds can't be any easier. Since seeds are heat-sensitive, we suggest you eat them fresh; there are many reasons, see for yourself. Alfalfa sprouts contain lots of antioxidants, as well as large amounts of B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, and copper. Another benefit of sprouted alfalfa seeds is that despite their high nutritional value, they are very low on calories. A whole cup of fresh sprouts only adds about thirty-three calories to your daily meal plan. Easy Guide Place a few spoonfuls of alfalfa seeds into a glass container (Mason Jar) and soak them for twelve hours. Use three parts of warm water (60-70F) for one part of the seeds. In twelve hours, drain thoroughly and rinse your alfalfa sprouting seeds and drain again, cover them with a tea towel or sprouting mesh. Leave them at the room temperature but away from the direct sunlight. Rinse and drain every twelve hours for three days to four days, until you see healthy, long sprouts. On day four, rinse your alfalfa sprout seeds as usual but do not cover them with a towel anymore. Please place them in a sunny but not direct light place for the sprouts to become green.
