Fortunately, with Peuleschil Chinese leek seeds organic, you can easily grow young, vital sprouts at home yourself. These organic seeds grow into crunchy sprouts that enrich your meals and support your body with natural nutrients, so you can boost your vitality in a responsible way.

Key benefits

• Organic quality: Certified organic leek seeds for pure and reliable home cultivation.
• Easy home growing: With a simple glass jar and some water, you can grow your own fresh sprouts within a few days.
• Natural support: Sprouts are rich in active nutrients that contribute to a conscious and vital lifestyle.
• Versatile in use: The young sprouts have a mild, characteristic flavour that fits perfectly with salads, sandwiches, and hot dishes.

How it works

Sprouts are young plants that contain a very high concentration of nutrients in the first phase of their growth. By soaking the seeds and rinsing them regularly, you activate the natural germination process. The dormant powers in the Chinese leek seeds are released, resulting in an extremely fresh and vital addition to your daily diet. This process supports the maintenance of good health in a completely natural and transparent way.

Composition

Ingredients

Organic Chinese leek seeds

Usage & Dosage

1. Put one to two tablespoons of seeds in a preserving jar and add plenty of lukewarm/warm water. [Any glass jar is suitable, provided it is large enough (min. 1½ litres) and the neck is not (too) narrowed.]

2. Attach a piece of plastic or fibreglass fly screen to the jar using a sturdy (postman's) elastic band. Preferably do not use aluminium fly screen as this is sometimes treated against insects.

3. Drain the water after the indicated soaking time¹, rinse the seeds, and drain the water again.

4. Place the jar upside down at an angle at room temperature in a colander, rack, or container so that excess water can drain away.

[It is important that all the water can drain away; the water that remains on the sprouts is sufficient to keep the germination process going. It is also important that the seeds/sprouts do not cover the entire mesh. For a good result, it is of great importance that there is sufficient air supply. Therefore, distribute the seeds/sprouts along the length of the jar after each rinse.]
Do not place the jar with seeds/sprouts on the heater or in direct sunlight!

5. Rinse the seeds/sprouts approximately 3 times a day during the indicated cultivation period², and then always place the jar upside down at an angle.

6. After the very last rinse*, let the sprouts dry in the jar (upside down at an angle) at room temperature for at least 18 hours before consuming them and/or putting them in the fridge.

* If desired, the last rinse can be replaced by a 'washing action' to remove the hulls from the sprouts:
-Fill a small basin or similar to the brim with lukewarm/warm water.
-Put the sprouts in this and 'wash' the sprouts loose.
-Skim off the hulls by 'waving' them over the edge of the basin.
-Scoop the sprouts out of the water by hand and put them back in the jar.
-Reattach the mesh, place the jar upside down at an angle, and let it dry at room temperature for at least 18 hours.

Store remaining sprouts chilled (max. 7°C) and sealed (not airtight).

¹ Soaking time: ± 6 hours
² Cultivation period: ± 10 days
