Timing:
Sprouting seeds are ready for harvest within a week from the first rinse. Stagger sowing for a continuous harvest. Sprouts can be grown year-round.
Starting:
- Quantity: Use one tablespoon of seeds per batch. Rinse seeds thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Rinse sprouts 3 times daily, allowing them to drain to prevent waterlogging.
- Soaking: An initial soak for 8-12 hours can help break dormancy and start germination, though it's not strictly necessary with thorough rinsing.
Growing Tips:
- Rinsing: Rinse 3 times per day to keep sprouts fresh and mold-free. Ensure good drainage to maintain oxygen contact.
- Watering: Use drained rinse water for houseplants as it contains beneficial enzymes.
Harvest:
- When to Harvest: Sprouts are ready when the first pair of leaves (cotyledons) open. Expose sprouts to bright, indirect sunlight for chlorophyll development and enhanced nutrition.
- How to Harvest: Wash sprouts energetically under cold water to remove seed husks. Use fresh or store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Our Care Bags help keep sprouts fresh by allowing them to breathe.
