Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds

Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds are a simple way to produce fresh, crisp sprouts at home, with a mild flavour that works with almost anything.  The tiny seeds produce delicate white stems topped with small green leaves, with a fresh texture and pleasantly subtle taste.

Alfalfa sprouts have a very different character from stronger sprouts such as radish, mustard or broccoli. Their flavour is mild, clean and slightly nutty, without much bitterness or heat. This makes them particularly useful when you want freshness and crunch without having the sprouts dominate the meal. Their fine stems are tender and juicy, while the tiny green leaves add a soft leafy texture.

Visually, alfalfa sprouts are light and delicate. A handful forms a loose tangle of slender pale stems with tiny green leaf tips, giving salads, sandwiches and wraps plenty of volume without feeling heavy. They are especially good where texture matters. Added to a sandwich just before serving, they provide a fresh crunch against cheese, avocado, egg or other softer fillings. Scattered through a salad, they add another layer of texture while allowing stronger ingredients and dressings to remain the main flavours.

That mildness is one of the main reasons home sprouters continue to choose Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds. Some sprouting varieties have very distinctive flavours, which can be excellent when that is what you are after. Alfalfa is more versatile. It suits people who prefer gentle flavours, and it combines easily with other sprouts when you want to create your own sprouting mixes.
