Alfalfa seeds are most commonly used for sprouting. Alfalfa sprouts make a tasty snack and have a fresh, lettuce-like flavour that can be used in a similar way to cress. These can be grown very successfully in a biosnacky germinator jar.
Directions
To sprout, soak in cool water overnight. Transfer into a germinator jar and drain off water. Leave in a cool place (not in direct sunlight). Rinse seeds and drain water twice a day. The sprouts appear really quickly in 2 to 3 days.
