The word alfalfa comes from the Arabic word <Alf-al-fa>, which means <father of all foods>. Alfalfa is without a doubt the best known sprouting seed because of the fresh taste of its shoots, which are particularly rich in vitamins (A, B1, B2, C, D, E) and minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus).

Soak your seeds in water overnight. Spread them on each tray of the Lima sprouter (Croq' Punch). Pour a glass of water on the lid at least twice a day. Thanks to the grooves the water will flow evenly to all trays of the sprouter. Harvest the sprouts when they have matured (approximately 6 days), rinse them and enjoy.
Sprouted alfalfa is a perfect addition to many soups and can be used in salads, on sandwiches and with cereals. The sprouted seeds can be integrated in all types of cooking and add a fresh touch to your dishes regardless of the season.
