Germination guidelines

• Days to sprout: 3 to 5 days.
• Soaking time: 4-8 hours.
• Yield: 1 tbsp of dry seed yields 1.5 teacups of sprouts.

Soaking: Place 1-2 tablespoons of seed in a jar with a sprouting lid or a piece of gauze with elastic. Add water, shake and let drain. Refill the pot with water and let it soak for 4 to 8 hours. This is not necessary, but it will ensure faster germination. Drain well and place the pot in a light spot, on the counter or windowsill (not in the sun).

Rinsing: Rinse the pot with water twice a day, turn it over and place it diagonally in a colander and let it drain briefly.

You can store the sprouts in the refrigerator for about 5 days.

Days to microgreens: 7 to 12 days.

• Cover a bowl or container with unbleached cotton pads and wet them.
• Squeeze out any excess water from the cotton wool.
• Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of seeds over the pads.
• Place the bowl in a light place but not in direct sunlight.
• Check every day whether the pads are moist.
• Keep the pads moist with a plant sprayer.
• After two days you will see the seeds germinate.
• Cut off the shoots if the sprouts have formed leaves.
