HOW TO SPROUT ALFALFA

Really easy to grow and super good for you in small portions, to sprout your seeds in a safe growing way you will need to water the seeds, leave the water to soak the seeds for about a minute, then drain all the water off the seeds after watering, next turn the sprouting glass jar up side down and at an angle so that any remaining water will drain away, this is because leaving any water behind may cause the water to stagnate which can grow bad bacteria and you do not want to eat that.  Your sprouted alfalfa should smell fresh at all time.  

Sprouting time 6 days / Fridge keeping time 3-4 days



I use a piece of muslin cloth to cover the opening of the ball mason jar and secure this in place with the lid band or a elastic band, this makes draining the excess water off really easy.  10 g of Alfalfa seeds will once fully sprouted fill a wide mouth ball mason jar.  It takes six days to sprout your alfalfa seeds to gorgeous green salad, once sprouted to this stage I keep my alfalfa in the fridge, for a couple of days.
