How to Grow Alfalfa Sprouts:
There are several ways to grow sprouts, the most popular, easiest, and least expensive is the jar method. All you need is a glass canning jar (quart or larger) and a lid - either a special sprouting lid or simply a piece of muslin, cheesecloth, or nylon screen secured with a rubber band. Sprouting technique is easy to perfect if four factors are kept in mind: adequate moisture, correct temperature, air circulation, and minimal light. More instructions for sprouting inside packet.
Please note: if not properly disinfected, all seeds have the possibility of carrying E. coli bacteria. Please disinfect the seed prior to sprouting by soaking in a 2% bleach solution (1 tsp. bleach to 1 cup hot tap water) for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
