Preparation for Cultivation

Cultivating alfalfa sprouting seeds is simple and enjoyable. Begin by thoroughly rinsing the seeds in clean water, then soak them for 8-12 hours in lukewarm water. After this period, drain the seeds and place them on a sprouting tray, in a dedicated sprouting container, or in a jar covered with gauze. The container should be kept in a warm and bright place, but not in direct sunlight. A crucial aspect is regularly rinsing the seeds 2-3 times a day, which maintains optimal moisture and prevents mould growth. In just 3-6 days, alfalfa sprouts will reach a length of about 1-2 cm and will be ready for consumption.

Site Conditions

Alfalfa sprouts thrive best at room temperature, between 20-24°C. The seeds require moderate light access – ideally, it should be diffused. Direct sunlight can dry out the seeds and slow their growth. Ensure a well-ventilated location to allow fresh air access, reducing the risk of mould development. Proper site conditions are key to a healthy, lush, and even sprout cultivation.

Cultivation

The cultivation of alfalfa sprouting seeds takes 3 to 6 days. During this time, the seeds should be rinsed with water 2-3 times daily to ensure optimal moisture. Once the sprouts reach a length of 1-2 cm, they are ready to eat. This process is straightforward and does not require significant financial investment. A jar, gauze cover, and elastic band, or a special sprouting container, will suffice. After cultivation, sprouts can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, allowing you to enjoy their freshness and crunchiness even after a few days from harvest.

Usage

Alfalfa sprouts are a true hit in healthy cuisine. They have a delicate, slightly nutty flavour that pairs well with many dishes. They can be added to sandwiches, salads, slaws, wraps, and smoothies.

Alfalfa sprouts are a versatile kitchen ingredient that enriches the daily menu with a natural source of health and energy.
