Cilantro Sprouts Seeds

Cilantro sprouts taste unmistakably of the herb, fresh and citrusy, with the whole flavour concentrated into a small shoot. They germinate in seven to ten days and are ready in twelve to eighteen, the slowest in the range and the most prized.

The seed is a hard husk holding two seeds, so soak it well and expect a long, uneven germination. Keep the tray moist but never wet, and the reward is a flavour nothing else matches.

3. Keep the surface evenly moist with a light misting once or twice a day.
