Description
Organic Alfalfa
Alfalfa, or alfalfa grass, botanical name Medicago sativa, is one of the most widely used sprouts in Europe and North America.
How can I grow it?
Producing organic Alfalfa sprouts and microgreens is quick and easy, even at home.
We recommend soaking the seed for 5-6: this step is essential to allow the seed to sprout as evenly as possible.
Next, it is important to rinse and drain your organic Alfalfa seeds 2-3 times a day, being very careful that the water does not settle and stagnate.
To bring out the sweet, crisp taste of organic Alfalfa sprouts, it is best to store your tray in a cool, dark place until the day before harvest.
Your organic Alfalfa microgreens will be ready to harvest in 10 to 14 days.
How can I eat it?
Once harvested, you can add them to your salads or enjoy them as a raw food.
Organic Alfalfa sprouts, tend to wilt quickly so we recommend storing them in the refrigerator and consume them within a day, to fully enjoy their flavour.
Organic Alfalfa seeds may contain traces of soy, mustard, wheat, gluten and grasses.
Store the seeds in a cool, ventilated place, with temperature between 8° and 20° C, away from weather, changes in humidity and direct sunlight.
