Step by step sprouting
Germination times included here are averaged. You may choose to harvest your sprouts either earlier when the sprout tail is small or once it has grown longer. Alfalfa Mild and grassy flavour Soaking time 5-10 hours Germination time 4-7 days Best eaten raw Fenugreek Bitter/pungent flavour (use sparingly or combined with alfalfa) Soaking time 8-12 hours Germination time 4-8 days Best eaten raw Radish Sharp/hot flavour (use sparingly or combined with alfalfa) Soaking time 8-12 hours 5-6 days Best eaten raw Clover (red) Similar to alfalfa but with sharper flavour Soaking time 4-8 hours Germination time 3-6 days Best eaten raw Mustard Hot flavour (use sparingly or combined with alfalfa) Soaking time 5-8 hours Germination time 4-6 days Best eaten raw Black mustard seeds are reputedly easier to sprout than other coloured seeds Mung Beans Mild, somewhat starchy flavour Soaking time 8-14 hours Germination time 2-5 days Best eaten cooked thoroughly Place tray or jar of mung beans in a dark spot for best results. Sunflower Seeds Nutty, sweet flavour Soaking time 6-10 hours Germination time 18-24 hours Best eaten raw Hulled: After soaking hulled sunflower seeds, skim off skins with your fingers before sprouting. If you don’t remove the skins, the seeds can quickly spoil. Shelled: Shelled sunflower seeds are for sprouting sunflower greens and these are best grown in soil. Lentils Slightly hot, peppery flavour Soaking time 10-12 hours Germination time 3-5 days Best eaten cooked; raw sparingly Sesame Seeds Slightly sweet flavour when eaten on first day Soaking time 6-10 hours Germination time 1-2 days Best eaten raw Use sesame seeds in the shell, which are darker than the white, hulled sesame seeds. After sprouting, eat quickly, since they turn bitter after 2 to 2 1/2 days. Note: hulled seeds are those that have the shell removed. |
