Description
What are Fenugreek Sprouting Seeds?
Organic Fenugreek Sprouting Seeds are certified organic fenugreek seeds, known as methi in India, for growing nutty, curry-scented sprouts in a jar in 3–5 days, or microgreens on a tray in 8–12 days.
Highlights
- Certified organic fenugreek (methi) seed
- Two ways to grow: jar sprouts (3–5 days) or microgreens on a tray (8–12 days)
- Nutty, slightly bitter flavour with a warm curry aroma
- Easy for beginners and grows all year on a windowsill
How to use
How to grow Fenugreek Sprouting Seeds
- Soak about 3 tablespoons of seed per 1-litre jar in plenty of cool water for 8–12 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 3–5 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, a few layers of kitchen paper or 1–2cm of moist seed compost.
- Sow: 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.
