FRESH SPROUTS

You can grow many seeds and beans into sprouts. Other groups of bothanical families are also very suitable for sprouting and microgreens.

What Seeds, Beans and Grains can you sprout?

There are more than 40 varieties of seeds, beans, lentils, peas and corn suitable for your sprouting.

Here I will show all those you can find in my webshop.

To find your way around them all, I put them into 5 groups. Each group has their own charateristics that affect how you cultivate them.

They are:
Seed – Gelling seed – Seeds with hulls – Legume – Grain.

5 groups of Sprouting Seeds

The five groups of seeds you can grow into sprouts and microgreens are:

SEEDS
WITH HULLS

· SEEDS

Seeds for Sprouts and Microgreens are harvested from vegetable, salad and herbs. You most often cultilvate this group to sprouts and microgreens with leaves, but some you can harvest with a small root.

You can see on all seed bags in my shop, which size each variety is suitable for harvest.

ALFALFA

RED BEET

BROCCOLI

DAIKON

ENDIVE

FENNEL

FENUGREEK

GARLIC

PINK KALE

RADISH

RAPE

RED CLOVER

SUNFLOWER

· GELLING SEEDS

Gelling seeds for sprouts are salad, spice or herb seeds. These seeds form gel, when they get wet. That is why, I also call them mucilaginous sprouting seeds.

You most often cultilvate this group to sprouts and microgreens with leaves, but some you can harvest with a small root.

You can see on all seed bags in my shop, which size each variety is suitable for harvest.

CRESS

MIZUNA

MUSTARD

RUCOLA

TATSOI

· SEEDS WITH HULLS

Seeds with hulls for sprouts are flower or vegetable seeds. These seeds are sold with their hulls intact on the seed. This is because the seed inside i oily and therefore quite fragile.

You always cultilvate this group to sprouts and microgreens with leaves until they are so big, they cast the hulls off the leaves themselves.

You can see on all seed bags in my shop, how long you should cultivate each variety of unhulled seeds before you harvest them.

SUNFLOWER

BUCKWHEAT

PUMPKIN

· LEGUMES

Legumes are Beans, Lentils and Peas for sprouts.

Note: As only the below shown varieties have a sufficiently low content of lechtins to be suitable for sprouts, please do not attemp to cultivate hust any legume you may find in your cubboard.

You always cultilvate this group into sprouts with just 1-2 cm long white root. Not until they develop leaves. The only exception to this rule is peas.

You can see on all seed bags in my shop, how long you should cultivate each variety of legume before you harvest them.

ADZUKI

CHICKPEA

LENTIL

MUNGBEAN

PEA

PEA SHOOT

· GRAIN

Grain is a group that contain both grains and corn.

This group is most often cultivated till they have long, green leaves. You then cut the leaves from the grain or corn and only eat the leaves. Most juice the leaves for wheatgrass as the cellulose in the leaves is hard on the human stomach.

You may also harvest this group when they have developed just a few mm long white root. The sprouts are then soft and nice in salads.

PEA SOUP WITH FRESH SPROUTS

Course Soup

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 15

Total Time 20

Ingredients

70 g dry peas for sprouts (turns into 100 grams sprouts)
½ small onion
1 large clove of garlic
½ canned pre-cooked chickpeas in water
300 ml vegetable broth
1 stalk of parsley
2 stalks coriander
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper
fresh water as needed
1 tbsp whole fat coconut milk for decoration

Instructions

Soak the peas for sprouts for 8 hours in clean water. Then grow them in a SproutPearl or other sprouter for 2-3 days, until the white root is 1 cm long. Rinse the sprouts thoroughly and they are ready for the dish. You do not need to remove the clear seed capsule. It is full of plant fibers and contributes to your satiety.
Rinse the chickpeas from the can thoroughly under the cold tap until the water no longer foams. Pour half of the can into the blender, but wait to blend. If you want an extra spicy and filling soup, you can take 10 chickpeas aside and fry them on the pan with salt and pepper until lightly golden. You use the fried chickpeas for decoration. You can also use a few pea sprouts for that instead.
Finely chop the onions and herbs and store them in a bowl. Pour the pea sprouts, vegetable broth and half of the sliced onions and herbs into the blender with the chickpeas. Blend until the consistency is as desired. If necessary, add extra water as needed.
Pour the blended mass into a saucepan, add the rest of the chopped onions and herbs. Bring the pan to a boil and immediately turn it down again so that the soup only just simmers. Add salt and pepper as needed. You can also add extra herbs if you miss more flavor.
Pour the soup into a bowl and garnish with pea sprouts, fried chickpeas, herbs and coconut milk. If you have a single radish sprout or red onion, you can also use it as a garnish for a beautiful color.

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 5

Total Time 10

Ingredients

15 g dry peas for sprouts
3 tbsp organic chia seeds
½ cup rice milk or almond milk
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tsp pumpkin seeds or flaxseed
1 dash cinnamon powder

Instructions

Soak the peas for 8 hours and then grow for 2-3 days until the white root is 1 cm long. Make sure to keep the peas moist with rinsing every morning and evening so that they become sweet and crispy. If they dry out, they become bitter in taste.
Soak the chia seeds in the plant milk for 1-2 hours. If you use your serving bowl, you do not need to move the porridge over when it is ready. Set the porridge to soak in your refrigerator.
While the chia seeds are soaking in the fridge, soak the other seeds in a glass of water to neutralize their anti-nutrients. It gives you a better absorption of their nutrients when you eat the seeds. After 1-2 hours, pour off the water and the seeds are ready for your porridge.
Rinse and cut the pea sprouts finely. Mix seeds and finely chopped peas in the now thick chia porridge. Sprinkle with cinnamon and the porridge is ready to be served.

Keyword pea, pea sprouts, salad

Prep Time 2

Cook Time 20

Ingredients

30 g Peas for sprouts
100 g silken tofu
2 tbsp coconut oil
spices to your liking

Instructions

Soak the peas for sprouts in water for 8 hours. After soaking pour the peas into the sprouter of your choice. The peas should sprout untill the white root is 1 cm long. This takes 2- 3 days.
If you wish to grow the peas into pea shoots you need to plant those peas in a tray or cup with soil. The pea shoots will grow to be 10 cm high in 2 weeks. They are nice and crisp then. Once the sprouts are done, cut the shoots 1 cm above the soil. You cannot regrow the shoots so put the soil and roots of the pea shoots in your green compost bin.
Rinse the shoots and sprouts in water and they are ready. Cut the tofu in small cubes, fry them on a pan with coconut oil and lots of spices. Mix it all and your dish is ready.
TIP You can exchange the Pea sprouts with Lentil sprouts or with Mung bean sprouts as they are also very rich in green protein.
