Try It Thursday’s - Alfalfa Sprouts
Every Wednesday over on our Instagram we will invite our followers to pick a microgreen for us to grow at The Grow Guide HQ on Thursday.
Last Thursday, you selected Alfalfa Sprouts over Kale Microgreens.
So we got growing!
Here’s how to grow your own.
Fill a jar with room temperature water.
Pour two tablespoons (or more) into the jar. Spin the water in the jar in a circular motion, being careful not to tip water out of the jar. Remove any natural debris or floating seeds that don’t sink. There shouldn’t be many. Pour out the water, being sure not to pour out any seeds in the process. We’d suggest using a cheese cloth. Then cover the jar with a lid.
Rinse and do the process again. Over the next 24hrs, do this every 8 hours.
After 24hrs your seeds will look more swollen, and will be ready for their third and final rinse and pour. Any bad seeds or debris will float.
Now the seeds have been drained, cover with a lid and place in a cool, dark cupboard for 1-3 days.
Your seeds will start to germinate. Once most of them have germinated, place it on a sunny windowsill and watch your sprout turn green over the next 12 - 24hrs.

You can use any beetroot seeds you have. This is perfect for people who want to grow but don’t have much space. Unlike normal growth of beetroot seeds, you don’t need much space because you won’t be growing the root.
