Alfalfa Sprouts

Add 1 Tsp of Alfalfa Sprouts to a bottle to soak. Add about 1/2 Cup Water and cover with a screen lid to allow for rinsing. 

Keep seeds soaking for approximately 2-3 days (seeds will soften so they will sprout),  draining and adding more water once a day.

On the third day, remove the screen lid on the soaking bottle and dump seeds into a grow tray and then rinse the seeds. Try to cover the bottom of the grow tray evenly with the seeds without touching them to disturb any growth on the seeds. 

Rinse the seeds twice daily to keep them moist so they will sprout. It usually takes about 3 to 4 days for them to grow to about 1 1/2 to 2 inches and turn green.

Once they are ready, I like to add them to a Tuperware dish with a paper towel at the bottom and then store in the fridge.

They are so good on deli sandwiches!!!

Can be added to salads as well.
