TIPS FOR ORGANIC ALFALFA
SPROUTS & MICROGREENS
MOISTURE
Alfalfa is a thin and sensitive sprout, so make sure it is moist enough between each rinse.
Maybe you need to place the sprouter a little cooler, so the water does not evaporate quite so fast.

COLOR
If your Alfalfa sprouts are yellow even two days after they have unfolded their leaves, they need more light.
The light allow for the plants to develop chlorophyll in their leaves and soon they turn green.
