Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds

Alfalfa sprouting seeds

$10.00
Size250g

Taste: With a deliciously fresh and grassy flavour, and a super crunchy texture, alfalfa sprouts go well with most foods. They’re super popular and also super easy to grow, making them a great addition to salads and sandwiches.

Nutrition: Alfalfa sprouts are a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. They contain vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. They also have high levels of phytoestrogens which have been shown to aid in the prevention of heart disease, and isoflavone which is used in Chinese medicine for treating the symptoms of menopause.

Source: Our alfalfa seeds are sourced from Australia.

Growing time: 4-7 days.

Our seed bags are made from a natural woven blend of cotton and muslin. For longer shelf life please store your seeds in an airtight container.

Seed prep

  1. Add 4-6 tbsp of sprouting seeds to your jar (2 tbsp for broccoli seeds) and cover with 400ml of water. Swirl around to agitate and clean the seeds, then tip out the water.
  2. Add a new 400ml of water and allow the seeds to soak for 4-6 hours.
  3. After soaking, drain water by tipping the jar upside down using the strainer lid in your sprouting kit.
  4. Sit the jar in a resting position, away from direct sunlight.

Growing & watering

  1. Water your sprouts a minimum of 2 times a day. 3-4 times per day is ideal.
  2. Add 400ml of water, swirl around to rinse sprouts, then drain.
  3. Repeat Step 2 for a second rinse with fresh water for a few minutes (extra water may be required on especially hot or humid days).
  4. Drain and place jar back in a resting position, away from direct sunlight.
  5. Repeat the rinsing and draining process 2-4 times daily until your sprouts are ready for harvest.

The magic of photosynthesis

To give your sprouts a wonderful green colour, the final stage before harvesting involves sunlight and the transformational process of photosynthesis. When your sprouts have grown to the desired size, simply follow these steps:

  1. Place your sprouts in an upright position in an area with bright light.
  2. Keep out of direct sunlight, natural or fluorescent lighting is fine.
  3. Photosynthesis will start to happen within one hour and can take up 12 hours (longer time = darker green)
    Rinsing and watering is still required during the photosynthesis stage, especially in warmer weather.
  4. Once your sprouts have reached your preferred shade of green, they’re ready for harvesting and feasting! 5. Wash and drain your sprouts, then place them in a clean container. Your sprouts can be kept fresh in the fridge for up to a week.
