Chia seeds have
great nutritional value, and so do the sprouts! Use them on sandwiches, salads, in smoothies, and more. We think they are tastier than alfalfa! Here's a link to purchase the c
hia seeds from Amazon. Seeds are available at most grocery stores, and we like to buy them in bulk from
Sprouts. Here's how I sprouted our chia seeds:
 |
| Put rocks in the bottom of your dish for drainage. Be sure the bottom has holes for extra water to escape. |
 |
| We used regular flower & vegetable garden soil and put it on top of the rocks. |
 |
| We use the Spectrum brand of Chia seeds for planting. |
 |
| For faster sprouts, soak the seeds in water first. I added a small layer without soaking to the top of the dirt. After you're done putting the seeds on top, water and place in a window sill, or outside where it will get a moderate amount of sun. |
 |
| Continue to water the seeds once daily. Here are the sprouts after 7 days. |
 |
| Sprouts after 15 days! Lush and beautiful! |
 |
| Ready for eating! Cut the sprouts close to the dirt and rinse. Only trim what you need, they can be stored in the fridge. |
