Alfalfa is an easy, fun sprout with a fresh flavor!
- Days to Sprout: 5 Days
- Soak Time: 4-12 hours
- Yield: Yield 1 tbsp. dry seed yields 1.5-2 cups of sprouts
- Storage: Our seeds should sprout well for a year after you purchase them if stored in a cool dry place. If you’d like to extend the germination life of your seeds store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer they’ll last even longer!
Sprouting Directions
Soak: Put 1-2 Tbsp. seed in a wide mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Refill jar with water and soak 4-12 hours. Drain well and invert jar at an angle on a sprouting or draining rack, or in a bowl or drain rack.
Rinse: Twice a day, refill jar with cold water, swirl, and drain well.
Enjoy! Ready to eat in 5 days. Refrigerate to store. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry. If you need to store immediately after rinsing, spin dry first.)

Helpful tips:
• Some sprouts tend to clump together as they grow. To separate, fill the jar with water, remove the screen and stir gently with a fork during the regular rinse. Remove hulls if desired. Drain well as usual.
• The drier they are the better sprouts keep. Be sure to let sprouts grow another half day after the final sorting rinse before storing in the fridge. Optional: put folded paper towel on top of the sprouts in the jar. Put lid on and refrigerate turned upside down. This removes excess moisture.
• If your home is very warm during the summer months, it may help to rinse the sprouts three times a day with cold water. Stir gently if clumping.
• To remove the hulls and unsprouted seeds from leafy sprouts, use a special sorting rinse. Pull sprouts out of the jar into a large bowl filled with water. Swish gently using fingers to separate the tangled roots. Most hulls will separate and rise or sink. Discard the hulls. Collect the sprouts back to the jar with or without aid of a strainer. Return the sprouting closure and drain so you can continue for half a day more of sprouting.
• Some brassicas (cabbage family) like radish and broccoli develop very fuzzy root hairs the longer you leave them undisturbed and these can be mistaken for mould. You will even see these after a few days of storage in the fridge. Stirring and rinsing removes the root hairs for a time.

Alfalfa as a full grown plant has one of the highest nutritional value among all foraging crops. Good for you and your cows!
Studies on canavanine, an amino acid analog in alfalfa, has demonstrated benefit for pancreatic colon and leukemia cancers. Plant estrogens are also abundant in sprouts. They increase bone formation and density and prevent bone breakdown or osteoporosis. They are also helpful in controlling hot flashes, menopause, PMS and fibrocystic breasts tumors. Alfalfa sprouts are one of our finest food sources of another compound, saponins. Saponins lower the bad cholesterol and fat but not the good HDL fats .Animal studies prove their benefit in arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Saponins also stimulate the immune system by increasing the activity of natural killer cells such as T- lymphocytes and interferon. The saponin content of alfalfa sprouts multiplies 450 per cent over that of the unsprouted seed. ”The Times of India17 Aug 2007Health Benefits of Sprouts(http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-08-19/science/27973728_1_alfalfa-sprouts-hot-flashes-health-benefits)
“Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant-derived phytochemicals whose common biological roles are to protect plants from stress or to act as part of a plant's defense mechanism. Although composed of a wide group of nonsteroidal compounds of diverse structure phytoestrogens have been shown to bind estrogen receptors and to behave as weak agonist/antagonist in both animals and humans. Phytoestrogens include mainly isoflavones (IF) coumestans and lignans. These compounds are known to be present in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains commonly consumed by humans. IF are found in legumes–mainly soybeans–whereas flaxseed is a major source of lignans and coumestans are significantly present in clover, alfalfa, and soybean sprouts. 8-Prenyl flavonoids are common in vegetables. Bioavailability of IF requires an initial hydrolysis of the sugar moiety by intestinal beta-glucosidases to allow the following uptake by enterocytes and the flow through the peripheral circulation. Following absorption, IF are then reconjugated mainly to glucuronic acid and to a lesser degree to sulphuric acid. Gut metabolism seems key to the determination of the potency of action. Several epidemiological studies correlated high dose consumptions of soy IF with multiple beneficial effects on breast and prostate cancers, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and stroke, and neurodegeneration. For the relief of menopausal symptoms a consumption of 60 mg aglycones/day has been suggested; for cancer prevention a consumption between 50 and 110 mg aglycones/day is considered beneficial to reduce risks of breast, colon and prostate cancer; to decrease cardiovascular risk a minimum intake of 40-60 mg aglycones/day, together with about 25 g of soy protein has been suggested. For improvement in bone mineral density, 60-100 mg aglycones/day for a period of at least 6-12 months could be beneficial.” Forum Nutr. 2005;(57):100-11.Health effects of phytoestrogens. Branca F, Lorenzetti S.
“Studies in humans, animals and cell culture systems suggest that dietary phytoestrogens play an important role in prevention of menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, cancer and heart disease. Broadly defined, phytoestrogens include isoflavones, coumestans, and lignans. Alfalfa sprouts, soybeans, clover and oilseeds (such as flaxseed) are the most significant dietary sources of isoflavones, coumestans, and lignans, respectively. A number of these compounds have been identified in fruits, vegetables and whole grains commonly consumed by humans. Proposed mechanisms include estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects, induction of cancer cell differentiation, inhibition of tyrosine kinase and DNA topoisomerase activities, suppression of angiogenesis, and antioxidant effects. Although there currently are no dietary recommendations for individual phytoestrogens, there may be great benefit in increased consumption of plant foods; especially sprouts such as Alfalfa, Clover and Soybean, and flaxseed.” A News Extract from the Annual Review of Nutrition, 17:353-381 1997, DIETARY PHYTOESTROGENS By Kurtzer MS, Xu X
“The folacin content of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and mung bean (Vigna radiata) sprouts was determined by Lactobacillus casei. Several variations of extraction procedures were tested. The optimum conditions for extraction were autoclaving mung bean and alfalfa sprouts in phosphate buffer containing 0.3% and 0.4% ascorbate, respectively, before homogenisation in a blender. The optimum blending time for folacin extraction was 120s for mung bean and 15s for alfalfa sprouts. Folacin content on dry weight basis increased several times in both types of sprouts during germination. Mature alfalfa and mung bean sprouts were found to contain 186 and 178 g folacin per 100 g fresh weight, respectively.” Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture Volume 36, Issue 11, Date: November 1985, Pages: 1155-1160.

“Since alfalfa meal prevents hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in rabbits and alfalfa saponins prevent the expected rise in cholesterolemia induced by dietary cholesterol in monkeys, the experiments being reported here were performed to determine whether alfalfa saponins affect atherogenesis in rabbits. In addition, the effects of alfalfa seeds were studied. Cholesterol-fed rabbits were randomly assigned to 3 groups: (a) control animals (N = 18); (b) animals maintained on a diet containing 1.0 to 1.2% alfalfa saponins (N = 18); and (c) animals maintained on a diet containing 40% alfalfa seeds (N = 17). Results after a 4-month observation period demonstrated that alfalfa saponins and alfalfa seeds reduce hypercholesterolemia, aortic sudanophilia, and the concentration of cholesterol in aortic intima-plus-media and in the liver, but do not induce changes in the hematocrit. ”Atherosclerosis. 1980 Nov;37(3):433-8.

I make these Alfalfa sprouts about every 3 days so that I can have fresh sprouts all the time in my fridge & these sprouts are the best – so easy to get going & tasty!
Michael –
Fast delivery, great price, excellent seeds.

Alfalfa sprouts were my first home-sprouted micro greens, are fast and easy. I use them mainly in sandwiches, especially in winter when imported greens are expensive
A. E. –
These seeds grew quickly and the sprouts are tasty. I would buy them again.

Love these sprouts. Great tasting and so easy to get to sprout. I started two mason jars a few days apart so I have continous sprouts to eat. Love it!!!
Big Jim –
These are so easy to grow and taste great

Good percentage of live seeds. Easy to grow. Abundant, vigorous sprouts.
Andrea –
The sprouts I have used from Mumm’s have been nice and tasty. Upon receiving the product through mail, one of the pouches opened up and sprouts were all over the box. Maybe if they were packed into another ziplock I could have salvaged the seeds. Product is great.
Sasklawitch –
Alfalfa sprouts are a winter staple. In order to add fresh greens to our diet, we like to grow our own sprouts to add to sandwiches and grated carrot and beet salads.
Patti –
All of the sprouting seeds I have purchased at Mumm’s have sprouted; no dead seeds that won’t sprout. Really appreciate good quality, and this is it. I combine several different sprouts to make an all-sprout salad. Love it.
Shera –

Sprouts tasting amazing, easy to grow, wish there were more Canadian grown seeds on this side, but very happy with alfalfa
Tintorette –
Salads liven up with alfalfa. Light and delicious
Lulu –
Alfalfa is my first foray into sprouting seeds and remain one of my favourite replacements for lettuce in sandwiches in winter & early spring until the first spring greens arrive at the local farmers’ market.
They sprout easily and in 4-5 days are in my fridge ready to go. I never bother to rinse out the seed hulls, but they must be well-drained to store. I use a screened top on a preserving jar To sprout them and now use the same to store them in the fridge as they are best kept ventilated.
Cat Wilson –
Buckwheat sprouts have a mucilaginous feel, which helps to soothe inflamed intestines. I grow mine in soil, in the trays I bought from Mumm’s. Fast-growing and delish! I eat them every day over veggie burgers and carrot dogs (hot dogs made with carrots). MIld tasting, they are also great in salads and a handful added to smoothies provides nutrition without compromising on taste! Going to try growing them hydroponically this year on Mumm’s baby blanket and with kelp solution for added minerals.
Cat Wilson –
Alfalfa sprouts are rather commonly known— I can buy them at my local supermarket. They aren’t advertised as organic, although there is a well-known company that grows them. Yet why buy when you can grow them yourself! Cheaply and very easily. I use an old fish tank to grow my sprouts, which makes enough to last a week for 1-2 people. It’s really not hard to soak the seeds overnight, and then fill up the tank with water each day. They grow fast and within 3-4 days, they are ready to eat. I fill a really large bowl up with water and the seeds float to the top while the sprouts stay under the water. That’s the most tedious part, but many seeds are so small they stick to the sprouts. The seeds don’t affect the taste at all, and they are lovely as toppings on burgers, dogs or in salads. Also great lightly sauteed and then added to sauteed or cooked veggies.
TMConnors –
The Alfalfa seeds are the easiest to sprout, with a fast turn around.
DaleE Planette –
I’d started growing sprouts from a large seed house but the pouches only made enough sprouts for a couple weeks. Then couldn’t buy any more! I needed fresh greens of some kind during the pandemic and didn’t really trust commercial growers at first. Found Mumm’s by chance and tho I had to buy a couple pounds of alfalfa to save on shipping, I am very happy with the purchase and yhe whole experience. They are so easy to sprout and grow and are so tasty on sandwiches and salads! I only wish my whole garden grew this well! Thanks
Albertan –
Love its mild refreshing taste.
Monique –
My husband and I really enjoy the sprouts. They are super easy to grow and are ready to eat in only 5 days. We put them on sandwiches and salads and we’ll even eat them on their own. They are delicious! Very happy with the product and will definitely order again.
Isabelle –
This is my first purchase with Mumm’s but not my first purchase of Alfalfa. The sprout were quick to grow and so tasty! I eat those everyday in my salad.
evey –
Very good service and a tasty product at a good price. I will be again buying alfalfa seeds again.
betterdoitright –
I have been sprouting my own for a few years now since the commercial sprouts sold in stores seems to have frequent recalls due to salmonella contamination. I love the convenience, and it takes only a few days to start sprouting so you can control the supply in your own home and never run out.
Camper –
Our daughter purchased a variety of seeds from you as a gift for her Dad. We spent the winter sprouting and sharing our produce at dinner parties
sproutlover –
Used to buy this product from a local health food store, happy to be able to connect with the Mumm’s business directly and to be able to buy the quantities I prefer! Always a quality product.

I recently made my first order with Mom’s and I’m very happy I did. Service was quick and the free shipping offer was a bonus. I will re-order in future.

Easy to sprout and delicious. I am very happy with the product and the excellent customer service. This was my second order with Mumm’s and I will continue to order from them in the future.
glitchless –
These sprouts were a second choice because the clover was out of stock. The seeds are smaller as are the spouts. Not really a problem, but they never seem to shed the husk after many days of being sprouted. They taste fine, but I like the look of the little leaves unbound by the brown husk.
Rosco –
Looking forward to sproutin’ . Had to pay big buck recently at a market to someone sprouting and selling in small container. So very economical and fun growing my own.
Ferment4Life –
I’ve been growing alfalfa for over 40 years. I didn’t know back then that I could sprout almost any seed, bean or nut. I now sprout a large variety.
Sprouting your own gives you a far superior product, healthwise and it’ll be the freshest veggie you can eat (especially in winter) in addition to those grown in your garden.
I not only add them to salads. I also just eat a handful as a snack.
MyFiona –
Alfalfa sprouts are a family favourite. We have them on sandwiches and in salads, and they are often on the supper plate too. We sprout them on their own, but often sprout in a mixture with seeds like chive, clover, or cress.
We use sproutmasters and there is a problem with some alfalfa seeds falling through the holes even after a 24 hour soak. If you add 1/2 tsp of mucilaginous seeds like cress you won’t lose as many alfalfa seeds.
Edgar Alvarado –
After being use this product, I have got wonderful results in my health, I will still using it since my aim is to keep my health in optima condition.
grateful –
I cannot make enough sprouts from the alfalfa and red clover seeds which we purchased, thank you thank you
Hollyhock –
I have been using these for 3 years, and find them to be excellent tasting, fresh. Seed has excellent germination, very clean. I use them mainly for salads and sandwiches. For anyone starting, this is the sprout for you.

Alfalfa from Mumm’s is excellent. I sometimes use it in the salads but mostly eat it right out of the jar.

PlantAddict –
These seeds worked very well for me, both in my multi-layer equipment and in a Mason jar.
xyz –
I’m beginner at sprouting. Only sprouted it twice without failure. I didn’t use any medium. After the seeds are germinated in a mason jar, I poured them out into a colander with a container for drainage. Rinse twice a day. Ready to eat after 4 days.
Northern Girl –
These sprouts are awesome. They were ready in a matter of days and the taste great. I live in Northern Canada so the options of being able to grow greens inside all year round it fabulous. As is the free shipping! I will be purchasing more when I run out!
Gail –
Love these products, very easy to grow and yummy.
Healthy One –
Quick to sprout as per claimed, very nutritious and goes well in sandwiches, alone, in salads, as a juice ingredient, and the taste is quite nice. I will often combine alfalfa sprouts with Red Radish and Broccoli sprouts to enjoy as a snack or in sandwiches or salads. Very universal.
Bobadri –
I love the ease in sprouting these in a jar! They are a wonderful crunchy consistency and flavourful in a sandwich.
SlightlyCrunchy –
I discovered Mumm’s when I first moved to Canada 16 years ago. I have purchased a variety of items regularly over the years, and have occasionally purchased seed from other suppliers – it is NEVER worth it! Mumm’s offers quality, customer care when needed, always offer prompt service, and always offer a great variety of seed – both the every day items that I am looking for as well as the more unique options.
Suniva Black –
There was a lot more seeds than expected, and just one tablespoon made so many sprout! Would definitely recommend and buy again!!
Northernsprouter –
I was first introduced to Mumm’s by watching Lisa Mumm’s sprouting video, which I must say is the hands-down best instructional video for seed sprouting. She is so cute, and speaks simply and graciously, and you just know you can do this too. No-fail! Running low on sprouting seeds, I took a look at the Mumm’s site and was very impressed by several things – the huge variety, the PRICE and the quality (organic). I ordered several varieties, they arrived very speedily, and with no shipping charge! What more can one ask for? Happy sprouting days ahead. We love Mumm’s!!
Dave In BC –
This was a terrific purchase! The seeds sprout very well, and within five days I’m constantly turning two Tablespoons of seeds into two cups of sprouts, which I use in salads, on sandwiches, in wraps, and just plain. VERY happy with these seeds.

The taste discreet and delightful, it is used as sprout base home. It can be used as a main component of a salad or alternatively the salad in a sandwich, my favorite is in a tomato sandwich, a delight! It is very versatile!
Robb Wright –
I’ve been sprouting for some time and the first time I tried your alfalfa seeds was the first time I was able to lift a complete mat of spouts and leave behind virtually nothing in the tray but some broken hulls. The sprouting success rate is outstanding. Bravo.

HEATHER Smith –
Love these sprouts and the quick delivery service from Mumms.
Zuni –
This is one of my staples. I use it in salads and sandwiches. During the winter I use it instead of lettuce since it greens-up very well near a window. It’s similar to crimson clover in taste and texture, so I like to combine the two in hopes of diversifying the nutritional content.
CanonD –
I purchased the 5 kg bag, kept if frozen, and it worked well for me.

I purchased alfalfa seeds from another company and they barely sprouted. These however sprouted extremely well and were delicious! Highly recommended 🙂 Perfect as a topping to burgers.
dottyw –
We have been buying alfalfa and other sprouting seeds and beans from mumm’s for at least 5 years. These alfalfa seeds are of consistent good quality. I usually sprout the alfalfa seeds together with mung beens, fenugreek seeds, and radish seeds, they take about the same amount of time for sprouting, and we’ll eat them together anyways. Either as sprout salad mixed with grated carrot and beats etc. or on top of lettuce, very tasty.
Bonzo Bear –
I have always had good result with sprouting and especially seeds that I get from Mumm’s.
They ship quickly at a good price and they arrive in perfect condition. I wouldn’t dream of getting my sprouts anywhere else.
Cynthia –
I just ordered for the first time several packets of sprouting seeds and have sprouted the sandwich blend and alfalfa so far. The sprouts from the sandwich blend are tiny, delicate with a very nice taste. We use them now on everything. When you calculate that a package of sprouts in the grocery store goes for $2.50, you can make the same thing at home for about 80 cents. Instead of using the screen, use either JCloths or cheesecloth.
This aging hippie thanks you Mumms Sprouts, the order was received within 3 days from Sask to Ontario.
John –
Always a nice sandwich ingredient.
Kon –
We are completely happy with the germination rate of both sprouting seeds you sent. There’s nothing like some sprouts to spice up a winter salad !
Elaine –
Grows well, 5 day sprout. A little bland in flavour but different nutrients and mixes well with other sprouts. Good for sandwiches and salads
Sprout lover –
Friendly, helpful and efficient service. Came quickly in the mail. With no unnecessary packaging. Nice, fresh alfalfa seeds. Canadian and Organic too. What can be better?
Tara MacDonald –
I’ve been growing Mumm’s alfalfa sprouts for awhile now and love their product. I originally purchased through RawNutrition.ca (fantastic company!) and I’ve seen them for sale at the odd retail location but decided to purchase a 1kg package directly from Mumm’s in October 2018. The ordering process was smooth, the product arrived quickly and was well packaged. Everything about this transaction was smooth. I’m a big fan of Mumm’s Sprouting Seeds and highly recommend their product. As for the sprouts, they are a great beginner sprout. They are easy, fast to grow, and have a pleasant flavour that pairs well with other foods and flavours. I often use them in a salad, a sandwich or burger topping, stuffed in a pita or wrap, but one of my favourite ways to use them is as a garnish for fried mashed potato hashbrowns. With it’s fresh taste and slight crunch, alfalfa is the perfect garnish when you’re having a big weekend brunch plate filled with bacon, eggs, toast and hashbrowns.
Billy Belly, III –
As per the title, I’ve been quite satisfied with Alfalfa seeds from Mumm’s and have never had a problem sprouting the seeds. I began using this product days after my leukaemia diagnosis a few years back. I won’t say that the sprouts cured me but they helped me by providing extra nutrition and on treatment days when I was only able to eat a variety of sprouts. Easy and quick to grow, great taste and appeal. The orders have always been fast and well packaged. I stay with Mumm’s Sprouting Seeds because they have always delivered (pardon the pun) on their promises, high quality of product, and excellent service.
Canon David –
I purchased the 5 kg bag. I use 1 tablespoon every day and let the seeds grow for 6 days. The two of us each have about two cups of sprouts on our salads. They are lovely. The 5 kg bag lasts about 425 days. I keep them in the freezer in smaller bags until I need each bag. Great value. Great seeds.
Sproutguy –
I am very pleased with how the Alfalfa Sprouts turned out…thanks!
Elayne –
I get great results from The alfalfa seeds. They produce exactly as advertised and very fresh tasting.

I’m new to sprouting seeds for eating and not growing. I’m loving it! This verity is super yummy and easy to sprout. Three days I am eating and repeating the process.
Wilma Fuchs –
A friend of mine suggested Mumm’s Sprouting Seeds, because my sprouts beforehand would not sprout properly. Now when I follow the instructions the sprouts turn out amazingly yummy. It is a true success: look, flavour, freshness, taste and easiness of sprouting, Thank you, I am in for the long run.

This was my second order of alfalfa sprouts from Mumm’s. The package came quickly, neatly packaged with free shipping. The seeds sprout quickly, are always fresh and so tasty!! Love sprouting all year round but especially during the winter months! 10 stars from me! Thanks Mumm’s!

Can’t believe how fast and how well these seeds germinated.

These seeds are incredible growers. The first time I tried them, I used 2 Tbsp. in the 1 L glass sprouting jar. Within 4 days the jar was literally packed with sprouts that had a beautiful fresh flavor and lovely green leaves. I recommend using only only 1 Tbsp/1 L jar so that the sprouts have room to fully develop.

Wonderfully fresh sprouting seeds… love the flavour, but also the aroma of these alfalfa sprouting seeds! You just can’t get this kind of quality in stores! The aroma and taste bring back great childhood memories of making and eating healthy snacks with alfalfa sprouts!

Using Alfalfa and Clover on my outdoor and indoor gardens with great success.
Spring 2019 has been very cold. Seeds planted late April, it’s been almost 3 weeks and garden is covered.

These are very easy to sprout and to maintain. A very forgiving sprout I have been unable to look after them for a day and a half and they continued to grow once I continue to rinse them.

I received my order within a week, I always order my seeds from you and never lost seeds, they germinate very well, and I grow red clover and alfafa together.

I have used Mumm`s seeds for almost 20 years and absolutely LOVE them. I can`t get over the quality and viability of them. My last purchase of these seeds were still 70% viable at 9 years old! I highly recommend Mumm`s seeds to anyone who values quality in a food item.

Je l’utilise souvent comme complément dans un sandwich, tomate ou salade de thon.

I switched methods for sprouting and now I use a jar. Rising twice a day and sprouts were ready in about 4 or 5 days, very nice looking sprouts a lot better than using the tray method. Good product.
John –
Just a 3 hr. soak and several rinses a day produces a wonderful snack.
Used to be able to get Alfalfa sprouts in the store.
At least we know what’s on them when done at home.
That is. if you have security cameras watching them.

seeds have excellent germination

We have been buying our alfalfa sprouting seeds from Mumm’s for many years,… 2 orders of 5kg a year,… and wouldn’t think of purchasing from anyone else,…they are the best. Thank you.
Cyberclaude –
the alfalfa sprout is great as a sandwich topper or even on top of a standard salad where it gives another level of texture. As always Mumm’s seeds are the best in freshness and quality.
John –
Alfalfa seems to be the least finicky sprout to grow.

I ordered Alfalfa from Mumm’s seeds before, and I still has some left from last batch. Again I ordered another batch just to have enough supply to continue my indoor sprouts. I use container to sprout it, and sprouting rate is very high, I only has a few non-sprouting seed in the container. Once it is done, I kept in fridge and use them for my breakfast, and it is a good keeper once it was drain well. Good product.
Roddy –
I Love Alfalfa sprouts. I eat them every day and I grow 2 tablespoons of seeds per week. They germinate very well.
Linley –
Wonderful Organic seeds & very prompt shipping. Great variety of seeds available.

I love mixing a few of my favourite seeds, keeping in the freezer till my fridge jar needs refilling, and keeping several sprouting jars on my windowsill. A filling meal is minutes away, with adding beans, seeds, other veggies and your own dressing. Even chopped meat is wonderful depending on your activity level. Talk about instant” slow food! Mild flavour that blends with whatever you add to it.”

I’m so happy to find quality organic alfalfa sprouts at a reasonable price. I’ve been growing these weekly for about six months–they grow very well every time and come out fresh, green and delicious. Strongly recommend.

This is my mom’s favourite. Easy to grow and tasty. It goes well with salad, spring rolls, and so many! We’ve only tried sprouting alfalfa, broccoli, radish and by far, alfalfa is the best !
Daniel –
This is my first purchase from Mumms the service online was easy and delivery promt. I am on my third batch of mason jar sprouting and the seeds sprout quickly, green up nicely and taste wonderful.

This is the second time I have ordered and I am really pleased with the products. I mix the 4 types of sprouts together and use them on salads, sandwiches and sometimes just as they are. The combination produces a wonderful mixed flavor and texture. They take only 3-4 days to sprout in the 4 trays I have which means you can have a fresh batch of sprouts continuously.
Long-time customer –
I have ordered from Mumm’s Seeds off and on for the last 25 years or so. The germination rate of the seeds I have received has been great. The service, even factoring in Canada Post, has been very fast. Alfalfa has always been my staple sprout—because of its taste and nutrition.
Grace –
I am so happy I bought these wonderful sprouting seeds. Even during these trying times with the outbreak of coronavirus, I am able to make myself a fresh salad each day using my delicious alfalfa sprouts . I feel so blessed. Wishing everyone becomes vegan, to save the animals, and save our world.

I love the versatility of these sprouts.
They are soft in texture and flavour.
From an egg sandwich to a salad and much more.
I love dealing with this company. Fast and easy

A few greens may be healthy for the system.

We love the alfalfa sprouts! We have about a half cup everyday! Either on a sandwich! My favourite is fresh bread, cheddar cheese, mayo, alfalfa sprouts. Awesome! we love them on top of a stir fry, or on the side with tomato, and cucumber! With fresh vegetables so hard to get, sprouts are a great substitute! I have told all my friends to make them!
yumyum –
It is hard to mess up with alfalfa, they are always fresh seeds and in a very short time there is a jar full to pop into your mouth. Delicious!
Just4you –
I mix these with 3 others and the combination is wonderful. This is the second order for these and I will continue to order them Great on salads, sandwiches, burgers and even right from the sprouter.

Three months ago, our family purchased 5kg of alfalfa seeds for sprouting. We had been purchasing a variety of smaller amounts of the Mumm’s sprouting seeds from our local natural food store since October and discovered that sprouting our own seeds allowed us to eat healthy greens throughout the winter with almost no effort. We have not missed washing lettuce from Mexico, etc. Growing sprouts- from this Canadian Company- also supports our Canadian economy and reduces the plastic and fossil fuel costs of delivering produce in the winter from. We chose alfalfa seeds because they have a mild flavour and grow very easily. These seeds have been of a consistent, high quality. We are definitely purchasing more seeds; their broccoli sprouting seeds are amazing.

Delivery took a little longer than expected but the Alfalfa seed was good quality and sprouting was satisfactory
Leen –
It’s always a treat to have fresh greens — and even more so during the shelter at home conditions of the covid19 pandemic. I use these sprouts on every sandwich (except grilled) that I make. I actually dug into the back of my freezer and found some seeds I’d ordered a few years ago. Yes — years. And they were fine! The percentage of successful sprouts may have been slightly diminished, and I certainly wouldn’t guarantee that leaving your seeds in the freezer for such a long time will have the same result, but I was thrilled. And, of course, the customer service experience is always top notch.
Trish –
Terrific in my smoothies! So easy to sprout and very tasty.
Sheila –
We purchased these recently and LOVE the taste. Great purchase and MUM’s seeds are amazing work with. Very fast getting them.
Clo –
I have been using alfalfa sprouts for a long time now, especially in salads. However, it is very good in sandwiches and burgers even though I now use the sandwich booster sprouts also. Alfalfa sprouts are easy to do and I never failed with them.
Lola –
Best in a sandwich or wrap. The thicker the better.
