Sowing Instructions
Growing Indoors in a jam jar or seed sprouter:

  • Put 2 tablespoons (50ml) of seed in a jam jar or container.

  • Cover seeds with about 250ml of water. Cover the jar with a piece of muslin and secure with a rubber band.

  • Soak seed overnight. The seed will swell considerably.

  • Drain water through the muslin cloth then rinse seeds in fresh water. Repeat the process and drain well.

  • The seed can be grown in the jam jar or transferred to the trays of a seed sprouter.

  • Rinse and drain the seeds at least twice daily until sprouts are ready to eat. This is essential to avoid fermenting/mouldy seedlings.

    • When ready to eat rinse and use straight from the jar or seed sprouter. Sprouted seeds will store in an unsealed polythene bag in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. Rinse regularly.

    Growing Indoors in a seed tray:

  • Sow any time of year either in seed trays on the surface of compost or on the surface of pads of cotton wool or kitchen towel.

  • Place the growing medium in a small container or saucer and moisten well before sowing the seed thickly over the surface.

  • Place container in a warm well-lit place - a kitchen windowsill is ideal. Ensure the growing medium is kept moist at all times and seeds will germinate very quickly.
