I had a can labelled "Alfalfa sprouting seeds 2009" and finally opened it.
To make alfalfa sprouts, you can use a variety of types of containers, but I bought a sprouting tray. The instructions were to soak the seeds for 12-24 hours, then spread them in the tray. Water them four times a day and drain the water off. Don't put them in direct sunlight.
Exactly 3 days after I first touched them, the sprouts were small and already delicious. Exactly 4 days after I first touched them, the sprouts were probably the right length, and delicious. Then I put them in the fridge. Maybe I could have let them grow one more day, but I didn't.
I am definitely a fan of alfalfa sprouts.
What a great collection! I'm impressed- you are obviously an amazing Provident Living Specialist! I came across your blog in a search for how to make sprouts. I did it forever ago and have the container, but lost the instructions, so thanks for posting. And thanks for the useful information- I'll be back. :) I have family in NC- the Romneys. Wonder if you know them. The church makes it a small wonderful world. :)
