Indoor Gardening: Alfalfa Sprouts

The Alfalfa Sprouts have reached the edible stage!

They are so easy to grow, just 7 days from start to sandwich. Oh, and they don't need light either. This set has grown entirely on my basement counter with now window light. Most plants germinate in darkness.

I highly recommend giving these a try if you're looking for a fun science experiment for kids, or if you just want a nice fresh addition to sandwiches and salad. They taste great!

There are lots of different types of sprouts you can grow as well. Radish sprouts add a nice mild spicy kick. Without further ado, here are the timelapse videos, and the final photo from today.

sprouts!

someone who has growing microgreen sprouts help me out with a question about growing them, please...

ive seen a way of growing sprouts is to put them in a mason jar and do several waterbaths basically until they have grown and then you are able to wash and eat them.

if i simply grow them in a shallow bit of soil and let them grow that way, would i be able to just snip the sprouts as they start and they would grow back or would it still be a one time thing as with eating them above?

i probably have enough seeds to test it and try but im also procrastinating with this so any responses are awesome and helpful! :D

Indoor Gardening: Sprouts

A little while ago my friend Andrea suggested I document the process of growing sprouts to eat since I was jonesing for some gardening. So, I'm going to do that. I won't post about these on my blog every day, but I thought I'd start with a Day 1 post so you know what to look forward too.

These are basic Alfalfa Sprouts, 2 tablespoons in the jar. I've rinsed them, let them soak for about a minute and a half, and then drained them. I'll rinse them 2-3 times per day every day until I've finished eating them.

I bought the seed at my local garden centre shop, and I also got the lid for my mason jar there. If you prefer to not use plastic, there is also a metal screen insert you can get for a traditional metal jar ring. When I do the follow-up post I'll find the website where you can order these items from.

This is an easy and fun activity for kids too. My nephew was fascinated to check them out every day or two last time I grew these. Alfalfa Sprouts, in particular, grow very quickly so they're rewarding for kids to see, and they’re a fantastic addition to sandwiches.
