Beautiful mix of seeds that grow in 3 days. Contains Fenugreek, Lentils, Kamut®, & Adzuki beans.

  • Days to Sprout: 3 Days
  • Soak Time: 6-12 hours
  • Yield: 1/2 cup of dry seed yields approx. 2 1/2 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: Day 1; Put 1/4 cup seed in a wide mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Refill jar with water and soak 6-12 hours. Drain well and invert jar at an angle on a sprouting rack, or in a bowl or drain rack.

Rinse: Twice a day, refill jar with cold water, swirl, and drain.

Enjoy! Ready to eat in (2-3) days. Refrigerate to store.

Helpful tip:

Adzuki beans may be somewhat slower to germinate than the other seed in this mix. Soaking the seed mix in hot water will give the beans a little boost!
  1. Rinse the seed
  2. Soak the seed in hot water, around 125F/50C. (Hot tap water should be the right temperature.) Allow to soak for 8-12 hours. The water will be cool by the end of the soak.
  3. Drain well.
  4. Rinse and drain twice a day until tails begin to emerge on the sprouts.
  5. Enjoy!

I love everything about these sprouts! First of all they sprout quickly- just 3 days! Secondly they don't have all those messy husks to get rid of at the final rinse like the smaller seeds do. And last but certainly not least they taste delicious! I throw them into stir fry (at the end), into salad or coleslaw or simply add them to a sandwich to provide wonderful taste and texture (really great with avocado and chicken!)

I had never tried to sprout seeds with a jar before. I got some strainer lids and tried it with these seeds. It was so easy. Just rinse and invert two times a day and within a few days they were ready to eat. I really like them.
