Grow quinoa sprouts or use for cooking.

  • Days to Sprout: 2-3 days
  • Soak Time: 4-8 hours
  • Yield: 1 tbsp dry seed yields 1/2 cup 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 by tapping excess water from jar.

Enjoy! Ready to eat in 2-3 days. The herb hulls are good tasting so you can harvest earlier if you like the flavor and texture of the hulls. Refrigerate to store. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry.)

 

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.

The Incas, who held the crop to be sacred, referred to quinoa as chisaya mama or 'mother of all grains' To Cook – Rinse thoroughly in warm water, until water becomes clear. Use 2 cups water to 1 cup quinoa, simmer 15 to 20 minutes.

  1. JDCHT –

    These were more colourful that I expected – since white quinoa is so bland looking. In three days you can have potent vegan protein on hand. Can’t beat the convenience there. Also, they lasted for a few days in the fridge where I thought they might quickly wilt. I decided to rinse my second batch the way I would when preparing quinoa like a grain. They turned out less bitter rinsed so I would recommend that.

  2. Vegangeezer –

    Excellent

  3. richarnet –

    my last order was just perfect.

  4. Wilda –

    Quinoa. – Not sure what to think just now. It looks like it is root bound but I haven’t used it yet as it is just ready to use.
