I’m a big fan of alfalfa sprouts. There’s something about the texture and the way salad dressing clings to it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find containers of sprouts in any of my local grocery stores for almost two years now. I saw on Pinterest that sprouts can be grown indoors in glass jars fairly easily. I thought I’d give it a try but then discovered a step up — this great two-tier sprout on Amazon.
It didn’t come with the seeds, so I purchased those separately. I soaked the seeds overnight and then created a layer of seeds on each tray. I placed it next to my AeroGarden in the kitchen so it would reap the benefits of some of the light. Each day I rinsed them once or twice. In six days the sprouts were ready! Huzzah! They were perfectly wonderful and fresh. I think I’m going to rotate so I’ll have a new stash every 3 days or so.
For me, each tray has about half the sprouts needed for a lunch size salad. The one pictured above is romaine, cucumber, tomato, broccoli slaw, sprouts, Sunkist Tuna Creations Ranch, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and just a little bit of blue cheese dressing. It was a perfect veggie and protein combo with lots of crunch!
Now to find a much larger sack of alfalfa seeds!
