These organic  seeds are easy to sprout; in just a few days you can harvest a helping of fresh-sprouted greens, to enjoy in salads, stir-fries, soups, smoothies, or any meal that needs that extra nutritional punch.

Amaranth is an edible seed that come mainly from fruit plants, although they are “sprout-able” they taste much nicer on a salad or in a brittle. They are a good source of antioxidants, magnesium, zinc and fatty acids — all of which may help keep your heart healthy.

• Add 3-4Tbsp of your dry seeds to a clean sprouting jar; enough to lightly cover the bottom of an upright jar.
• Cover the sprouting jar with the mesh screen & secure it with a rubber band.
• Cover your dry seeds with 2-4cm water & soak for 6-8 hours or overnight.
• Drain & rinse in fresh water, swirling gently while draining to disperse the seeds across the surface of the sprouting jar. Place the jar at an angle on your sprouting stand.
• Keep your sprouting jar in natural light but never in direct sunlight. Rinse your seeds 2-3 times a day in cool water. The water should be rinsed clear.
• Harvest within 2-3 days of the “tails” and/or greenery appearing from the seeds.
• Drain the sprouts well & leave 2-4 hours to dry on your sprouting stand, before transferring to an airtight, covered storage container.
• Enjoy your sprouts in 3-7 days; keep them refrigerated in an airtight container. Start sprouting new seeds every 2- 3 days for a continuous, fresh supply.
