Sprouting Directions:
No Soak Needed: Place 1-2 tbsp of seeds in a wide-mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Invert the jar at an angle on a sprouting rack, in a bowl, or drain rack.
Rinse: Twice a day, refill the jar with cold water, swirl, and drain well by tapping excess water from the jar.
Enjoy: Ready to eat in 4-5 days. Refrigerate to store. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry.)
Microgreens Directions (Soilless Method for Gelatinous Seeds):
Prepare Sprouter: Fit a heavy-duty unbleached paper towel, coffee filter, or Baby Blanket to your sprouter of choice. Mist the paper towel so the seeds stick to the surface.
Sow the Seed: Sprinkle the seeds in a thin layer, using a spoon to separate clumps. Mist the seeds twice in the first hour to ensure hydration.
Mist and Rinse: Mist the seeds on the towel twice daily. Drain excess water after each rinse.
Grow and Harvest: By day 3, the sprouts will lift above the towel. You can remove the towel or let the roots grow into it. Harvest on day 5-7. If the sprouts are left to grow, harvest the microgreens at day 7-9.
Microgreens Directions (Soil Method for Small Seeds):
Prepare Soil: Add water to the soil bag 12 hours ahead of use until almost fully hydrated. Ensure the soil is moist, not wet.
Fill Trays with Soil: Use a tray with holes and fill with 3/4-1.5” of soil. Smooth and flatten the soil without compacting it.
Sow the Seed: Sprinkle the seed evenly over the soil. For 1-week microgreens, use approximately 15-28 grams (1.5 – 2 tbsp). Mist if needed to maintain moisture.
Cover the Seed: Use parchment paper, a plastic sheet, or a wet unbleached paper towel to cover the seeds. If not stacking trays, use a dome or lid to protect the seeds from drying out.
Stack Trays or Cover with Lids: Stack 2-5 filled trays on top of each other with a weight on the top tray. Check daily for water needs. Stack for 2-3 days for cabbage family seeds.
Expose to Light: After 2-5 days, expose the microgreens to indirect sunlight, fluorescent, or LED grow lights.
Water the Growing Microgreens: Check daily and water as needed. The soil should be moist, not wet. Water from below once trays are unstacked.
Harvest: Microgreens are harvested at 1-3 weeks with scissors or a sharp knife. Ensure microgreens are not damp before storing. Dry with a fan or salad spinner if needed.
Enjoy: Microgreens make everything better, so have fun with them and add them to your favorite dishes!
