Flax Sprouts Seeds

Flax sprouts are small, soft and mildly nutty, usually grown as a garnish or stirred through bowls rather than eaten by the handful. They germinate in four to six days and are ready in eight to ten.

Flax seed forms a gel as soon as it meets water, so it is never soaked. Sow it dry onto a damp surface, mist lightly and let the gel do the work of holding moisture.

How to Sprout

1. Do not soak these seeds. They form a gel as soon as they meet water.
2. Scatter the dry seed evenly over a damp growing medium or a fine sprouting tray.
3. Mist lightly once or twice a day, just enough to keep the surface damp.
4. Keep in a bright location, away from direct hot sunlight.
5. Harvest in 8 to 10 days, once the shoots reach 1 to 2 inches tall.
6. Snip and use fresh.

Non-GMO and heirloom, and just as good grown on as microgreens.
