Instructions:

  1. Sanitize
    Pour hot water into a 750 ml mason jar, let sit for 1–2 minutes, then drain and let cool.
  2. Soak (Day 1)
    Add 20 g (2 tbsp) alfalfa seeds to the jar. Cover with filtered water and close the mesh lid. Soak for 5 hours. Drain, rinse, and prop the jar upside down at an angle to drain fully.
  3. Rinse and Drain (Days 2–4+)
    Twice daily: fill the jar with filtered water, swirl gently, drain through the mesh lid, and re-prop upside down at an angle. Keep on a countertop away from direct sunlight.
  4. Harvest
    By day 4 (up to day 7 depending on temperature), sprouts should fill the jar. Transfer to a container lined with a paper towel and refrigerate. Consume within 5 days.
Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

Rinse and drain the sprouts thoroughly twice a day — once in the morning and once at night. Incomplete draining leads to mold.

Keep the jar in a dark or low-light area during sprouting, then move to indirect light for the final 12 hours to green up the leaves.

Tips:

Use seeds specifically labeled for sprouting to ensure they are untreated and safe to eat raw.

Storage:

Once fully sprouted, store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Rinse before eating.
