Cultivation method:
Tray method:
- Fill a germination tray with a single cup of seeds and place it in a dish of water to soak the seeds for 4 to 8 hours.
- Rinse the seeds twice a day in clean water, making sure to drain the tray well to avoid any build-up of moisture.
- Sprouts will be ready to harvest in 8 to 10 days. Store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
For even crunchier sprouts, add a larger tray under your sprouting tray and fill it with 1/4 inch of water so the roots absorb more moisture.
Soil method:
- Prepare a tray with moistened soil and soak the seeds for 4 to 8 hours.
- Sprinkle the seeds over the soil and press them gently into the potting soil. Cover lightly with a towel or a thin layer of soil to retain moisture.
- Stack an empty tray with a weight on top to help the seeds root well. Remove the cover once the seeds start to germinate and mist them twice a day.
For successful germination, maintain adequate humidity and a constant temperature. Avoid overwatering after germination to avoid flooding the young seedlings.
