How it works
Sprouting is the process where a dry seed awakens through the addition of water and transforms into a young, growing plant. During this early growth phase, stored nutrients in the seed are activated and converted into light, easily absorbable compounds. Fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum) have a rich tradition of use dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, China and India. By letting these seeds germinate at home, you create a crunchy sprout with a characteristic, slightly spicy flavour that fits perfectly in salads, on sandwiches or as a garnish for hot meals. The process is pure nature: you only need water, air, room temperature and a glass jar to harvest your own fresh sprouts within a few days.

Ingredients
Organic Fenugreek seeds
Usage & Dosage
- Place one to two tablespoons of seeds in a clean preserving jar of at least one and a half litres with a wide neck and add plenty of lukewarm to warm water.
- Secure a plastic or fibreglass mesh screen to the jar with a sturdy elastic band. Do not use aluminium mesh for this.
- Drain the water after a soaking time of approximately 6 hours, rinse the seeds carefully with clean water and drain the water well again.
- Place the jar at room temperature at an angle in, for example, a colander, rack or container, so that excess water can drain away well. Ensure sufficient air supply and distribute the seeds and sprouts along the length of the jar. Do not place the jar on the radiator or in direct sunlight.
- Rinse the seeds and sprouts during the growing period of approximately 4 days about 3 times a day with clean water, and then place the jar back at an angle to drain each time.
- After the very last rinse, let the sprouts dry-grow for at least 18 hours at room temperature (at an angle) before you consume them or place them in the fridge.
If desired, you can replace the last rinse with a washing action to remove the hulls from the sprouts. To do this, fill a clean bowl or basin with lukewarm to warm water, wash the sprouts loose carefully and let the hulls flow over the edge. Then scoop the sprouts out of the water, put them back in the jar with the mesh and let them dry-grow for at least 18 hours.
Safety & Disclaimer
Remaining sprouts should be stored chilled at a temperature of no more than 7°C and in a sealed, but not airtight, container. During the entire sprouting process, ensure good hygiene of the materials used and your hands to prevent bacterial growth. Not suitable for use if you have a known hypersensitivity to fenugreek or related legumes.
