Alfalfa sprouts, seeds

Lucerne sprouts, also called alfalfa sprouts, are one of the most nutritious sprouts you can grow. They contain many minerals and vitamins as well as potein (35%). They also contain important amino acids and as many as 8 enzymes which are good for digestion.

Sprouts are an extremely good dietary supplement, especially in the winter months, as they have a rich content of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein and much more depending on the type of sprout. In general, they are also very low in fat.

Sprouts can be used in many ways. Traditionally they are used in salads, but they are also excellent in wok dishes, sandwiches, hot toasts/paninis or lightly roasted in, for example, olive oil and tossed in pesto and served over a pasta dish. Only creativity sets limits.

Cultivation:
The seeds are soaked overnight. The next day, they are spread out in the germination tray (see item number 4200). Keep in mind that the sprouts will quadruple in size during germination. Therefore, do not pour too many seeds into the same tray. Then let them germinate in a bright place with good ventilation at room temperature. Rinse the sprouts 2-3 times a day until they are completely sprouted.

Germination time: The sprouts are ready in 4-6 days

Storage:
Sprouts can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, depending on the type of sprout. They are best stored in a sprouting bag (see more options by searching 4201 and 4202), as when stored in a plastic bag or closed box they cannot breathe and can therefore become slimy and spoil. In a sprouting bag, the sprouts can breathe and at the same time the material retains moisture. The bag also protects the sprouts from light. The sprout bag can be closed with the sewn-in ribbon.
