Product Description
Organic Alfalfa Seeds are an excellent choice for anyone looking to grow their own fresh, nutrient-rich sprouts at home. These seeds are easy to cultivate and packed with essential nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to your meals.
These organic alfalfa seeds allow you to produce crunchy, mildly nutty sprouts that are rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients. They provide a great source of vitamin K, fiber, and plant proteins, enhancing the nutritional value of your salads, sandwiches, and spring rolls. The seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain their quality for up to a year. For optimal freshness, consider dividing bulk purchases into smaller packages to avoid exposing too many seeds to open air.
Sprouting organic alfalfa seeds is a simple process. Begin by soaking the seeds in a glass jar for 12 hours, using about two glasses of warm water for every two tablespoons of seeds. After soaking, rinse and drain the seeds, then place them on a sprouting tray covered with a tea towel, away from sunlight. Rinse and drain the seeds every 12 hours, and they will start sprouting by day three. After the sprouts begin to grow, expose them to sunlight to enhance their color and crunch. They will be ready to eat by day six, and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
