Survival Garden Seeds offers alfalfa microgreen seeds for those eager to incorporate these highly nutritious greens into their diet. Our non-GMO seeds are chosen for their high germination rate and vigorous growth, ensuring a quick and healthy harvest.
Alfalfa microgreens are the young seedlings of the alfalfa plant. Enjoyed for their taste and health benefits, they provide major amounts of vitamins C, K, and B, with essential minerals like iron and magnesium. These small plants are particularly noted for high protein content. Because of this, vegetarians and health enthusiasts love to incorporate them into their diets.
Start by soaking alfalfa seeds in water for 8-12 hours. Spread seeds thickly over a thin layer of moist potting mix (1/2-1 inch of soil) in a well-draining shallow container. Press them firmly into the soil. Mist them with water and cover to block out the light. Place the container in a completely dark place. Mist as needed to retain the moisture during this time. In 5-6 days, when there is a few inches of growth, place the tray under direct light. Harvest with scissors in 8-12 days.
Alfalfa microgreens grow quickly. All they really need after sprouting is regular misting. Providing adequate light after the blackout period is crucial, as it will promote robust, healthy growth and allow your greens to develop color. Harvest microgreens with scissors just above the soil line, when they’ve grown to the desired height. Rinse gently and enjoy them fresh, to obtain all the alfalfa microgreens benefits.
With alfalfa microgreens seeds, anyone can be a home gardener. This is the perfect way to have fresh greens if you don’t have a garden, or it’s the middle of winter. Besides that, gardeners of any experience level enjoy the big boost of nutrients in the small but strong plants.
