Alfalfa Sprouts Seeds

Alfalfa is the classic sandwich sprout: fine stemmed, tender and pale green, with a clean, faintly nutty taste that goes with almost anything. It germinates in three to five days and is ready in five to seven, so a jar started at the weekend is on the table by midweek.

The seed in this pouch is cleaned and tested for sprouting, so it germinates evenly and gives a soft, full tangle of shoots instead of a patchy one. No soil, no garden and no growing season needed, just clean water, a sprouting jar or shallow tray and a bright spot on the counter.
