Kitchen Garden Leafy Alfalfa Seeds 300g

Leafy Alfalfa Seeds

Alfalfa Seeds have been popular for decades and generally used for sprouting. Easy to germinate, they provide you with delicious crunchy microgreens loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. Enjoy alfalfa sprouts anytime to get plenty of vitamins and minerals. One of the most valuable assets of alfalfa sprouts is a low-calorie count, despite the very high nutritional value; one cup of fresh green sprouts has thirty-three calories. It provides a large serving of vitamin C and various B vitamins, as well as iron and copper. Alfalfa sprouts also have a rather high level of vitamin K, and even though it’s suitable for the majority, we do recommend you consult your doctor, especially if you are on blood-thinning medication. People who need blood thinners or suffer from autoimmune conditions should avoid alfalfa seeds. It’s also not recommended for pregnant women because the plant is bioactive and might trigger contractions.

• 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.
