Soft wheat is especially recommended for germination. Germination increases the content of vitamins, enzymes and trace elements of the seed. Wash the seeds thoroughly before soaking. Wheat will take about 2 to 3 days to germinate; we recommend spraying with filtered water if possible to keep the soil moist.

Sprouted wheat should be consumed raw, in sprouts of about 0.5 cm or in shoots of 1 cm. Do not forget to wash the sprouts before consumption. Sprouted wheat seeds are ideal for salads, soups and woks or to decorate your desserts.

If you do not consume them immediately, keep them for a few days in a refrigerator with a lid.

For a wheatgrass juice, it is necessary to wait until the shoots grow and harvest the strands about 15 cm to extract the juice. Wheatgrass juice should be consumed immediately after extraction.

Like all our sprouted seeds (buckwheat, alfalfa, sunflower, lentils), our wheat seeds are carefully selected and come from organic production in Gironde. ( South of France)

Alfalfa, is a perennial herbe that can grow from 30 to 80cm tall. Alfalfa has a complete nutritional profile and contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Researchers measured its total antioxidant activity using an index called FRAP: according to this study, the FRAP index of untreated alfalfa seed would be 34.5 μmol / g4. This level of antioxidant activity is relatively high: for comparison, researchers measured the FRAP index of other foods and the highest of the vegetables studied was spinach, with an index of 26.9 (1).

Germinated seeds of alfalfa are eaten in green shoots of 2 to 3 cm; the base of the shoots must be white, and the end green. They are ideal with salads or radishes, replacing lettuce in your burgers, tacos and sandwiches, in an omelette or soup (at the end of cooking). They also mix with shrimp and cheese sauce.

Caution: consumption of alfalfa is contraindicated for people who have had systemic lupus erythematosus; it contains L-canavanine, an amino acid that could contribute to worsening the symptoms of the disease.

Like all our sprouts (buckwheat, sunflower, lentils), our alfalfa seeds are carefully selected and come from organic production in Gironde in France

Green lentil seeds are an important source of protein, iron and calcium. They contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. They are both very consistent and digestible. Their consumption is particularly recommended for nursing mothers.

These seeds require soaking in at least three times their volume of water. Green lentils can be consumed as soon as the germ appears and up to 2 or 3 cm, even in the young shoot stage (10 cm), raw or cooked (5 minutes with gentle steam). The sprouted lentil is pureed, fresh and crisp salad with vinaigrette, or minestrone.

The sprouted sunflower seed has the texture of a dry fruit (almond), it offers a very sweet and pleasant taste.

Sunflower sprouts are called “oleaginous” (up to 56% fat) and contain 85% unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins B, D, E, minerals and trace elements. They contain 18% of proteins, 13% of carbohydrates of which a significant part of fibers. High in nutritional value, sprouted sunflower seeds are a good source of vitamins B, D, E, minerals and trace elements (magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron, calcium).

Like quinoa and amaranth, buckwheat is generally referred as pseudo-cereal, but unlike conventional cereals, it does not belong to the family of grasses. The sprouted buckwheat seed contains essential carbohydrates and amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, C, E, K, rutin (vitamin P), and mineral salts (silicon, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium potassium, manganese, zinc, copper, fluorine, iron).

Buckwheat seeds have a neutral taste and are slightly crunchy. They are consumed  raw or cooked (light steam cooking) and can be mixed in different preparations, salty or sweet, or simply added to your salads and mueslis.

→ No more seeds that mildew or do not germinate (as in most conventional propagators)

The heat generated by the growth of the shoots generates air circulation by natural convection.

This air regulates the temperature and the humidity, essential for optimal germination.

You can grow your shoots in larger quantities with minimal attention.

The germination time is considerably reduced: 48h is enough for lentils, for example, against 84 hours.

The propagator is made of 6 pieces:

– 1 outer container;
– 1 smaller inner container with drainage grid in which the seeds germinate;
– 1 mini-grid for small seeds such as alfalfa (alfalfa) which is placed at the bottom of the inner container;
– 1 dome allowing air circulation while keeping the right temperature and humidity;
– 1 lid for drainage;
– 1 lid for preservation.

All parts of the Easy Sprout are plastic without Bisphenol A and are suitable for the dishwasher.

Warning: this sprouter is not the best way to germinate mucilaginous seeds (basil, linseed, watercress, mustard, rocket …), which need to be flat, without overlapping, because they might miss air to germinate. But you can mix a small amount of mucilaginous seeds with other seeds in the Easysprout germinator for optimal results.

Sprouted seeds are real nutritional treasure. Germination triggers intense biochemical and enzymatic reactions that give them interesting properties. Their consumption is recommended by nutritionists, especially because of their high vitamin, mineral and enzyme contents.

Our starter kit is a simple way to grow your first sprouted seeds and enjoy, in a few days, young shoots with high nutritional value.

The Starter kit for sprouted seeds includes:
– 2 germinating trays;
– 400 g of organic soil;
– 2 bags of organic seeds to sprout: sunflower (100 g) and buckwheat (150 g);
– a detailed notice.

Germination trays can be re-used for all seeds that grow optimally on an earthy substrate, such as wheat, sunflower and buckwheat.
