Organic alfalfa seeds are a cost-effective and versatile choice for growing fresh sprouts at home. Also known as lucerne, these small seeds produce mild, crisp sprouts that add texture and freshness to salads, sandwiches, wraps and grain bowls. Alfalfa seeds have a naturally long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from direct sunlight. Once sprouted, the fresh shoots can be kept refrigerated and are best enjoyed within 2–3 days for optimum freshness. How to sprout alfalfa seeds: 1. Add around one tablespoon of seeds to the bottom of a clean jar. 2. Cover with a few inches of water and soak for 8–12 hours. 3. Drain and rinse thoroughly. 4. Leave the jar at an angle in a dark, well-ventilated space. 5. Rinse and drain every 8–12 hours. 6. After around 4–7 days, when the sprouts are 1–2 inches long, give them a final rinse and allow them brief exposure to indirect light to green. 7. Refrigerate and use as required. One tablespoon of seeds will expand significantly during sprouting, producing a generous handful of fresh shoots. If you’re new to sprouting, a smaller pack is a practical starting point, while larger sizes are ideal for households or commercial kitchens that sprout regularly. If sprouts do not develop well, ensure seeds are rinsed consistently, fully drained after each rinse, and kept at a moderate room temperature
