INTRODUCING ALFALFA MICROGREENS SEEDS

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.

PLANTING ALFALFA MICROGREENS SEEDS

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.

MAINTAINING ALFALFA MICROGREENS

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
