Description
What are Fenugreek Sprouting Seeds?
Growing guide: day-by-day photos, soak and rinse times
Organic Fenugreek Sprouting Seeds are certified organic fenugreek seeds, known as methi in India, for growing nutty, curry-scented sprouts in a jar, typically in 4–6 days, or microgreens on a tray, typically in 8–12 days.
Highlights
- Certified organic fenugreek (methi) seed
- Two ways to grow: jar sprouts (4–6 days) or microgreens on a tray (8–12 days)
- Nutty, slightly bitter flavour with a warm curry aroma
- Grows all year round indoors, in a jar or on a tray
How to use
How to grow Fenugreek Sprouting Seeds
- Soak about 3 tablespoons of seed per 1-litre jar in plenty of cool drinking water for 6–8 hours.
- Drain well and keep the jar at room temperature, out of direct sun, tilted so excess water runs out.
- Rinse and drain 2–3 times a day. Short sprouts taste best: the longer they grow, the more bitter they become.
- Harvest after 4–6 days, when the sprouts are 1–2cm long. Give them a final rinse, drain very well and keep them in the fridge, using within 2–3 days.
How to grow fenugreek microgreens on a tray (8–12 days)
- Prepare a shallow tray with a damp hemp or coir mat, or a few layers of damp kitchen paper.
- Scatter: Soak the seed for 6–8 hours first, then drain well. Scatter the seed thinly and evenly, using about 30–40g for a standard 25 × 50cm tray or 8–10g for a 15 × 20cm tray.
- Cover for 2–3 days to keep the seeds dark and moist while they germinate. Mist them if the surface starts to dry.
- Grow on in bright light, watering from below so the base stays damp but not soggy.
- Cut just above the base once the leaves have opened, usually after 8–12 days. Rinse, then cook them until steaming hot before eating.
Quality & Sourcing: Nature's Root selects high-quality organic seed and packs it carefully to maintain freshness.
