Sonnentor Organic Sprouting Seeds
Where do you get the freshest vegetables? Of course from your own garden. No fresh market can keep up with home-grown lettuce. For this reason, more and more people take spades and rakes in their hands. Working in your own vegetable garden is not only filling the salad bowl, but it is also a wonderful balance to everyday work. But what do you do when you do not have your own garden and still want to enjoy freshly harvested vegetables? Dr. Clive M. McKay, a professor of nutrition at the University of Ithaca, thought about this question. That is why he published a very special profile in the 1940s. It reads as follows: ”Wanted! Vegetables that grow in any climate, whose nutrient content is equivalent to meat, which is ripe in 3 to 5 days, can be sown on each day of the year and which requires neither soil nor sun..." In addition, it should not cause waste in its cultivation and be prepared quickly. The answer to the super vegetables he was looking for the professor found for himself: Sprouts from sprouting seeds!
The sprout is the first development stage of a plant and refers to the young new shoot that grows from the seed. Strictly speaking, the sprout is only the part of the plantlet that is growing upwards. The lower part, which forms the root, on the other hand, is referred to as seedling. But colloquially, both terms are used synonymously. Sprouting vegetables require neither soil nor fertilizer and can be harvested after just a few days. Thus, sprouts are the perfect vegetable for those who lack the patience for cabbage and carrots.
Growing sprouts is simple – in the truest sense of the word. All you need is sprouting seeds, a germinator, water and sufficient light. Initially, most sprouting seeds are soaked for a few hours. After that, they are put into the germinator. The seedlings regularly need to be flushed with fresh water. Caution: The seedlings must remain moist, but may not lie in the water. They feel most comfortable at room temperature and with much light. Now, you must take care that the germinator does not become too full, so that the seedlings have enough space to breathe and grow. Those who consider these points can harvest the delicious sprouts after a few days.
