Chia Sprouts Seeds

Chia sprouts are fine and tender with a clean, mild flavour, best used as a fresh garnish on salads, soups and bowls. They germinate in four to six days and are ready in eight to ten.

Like flax, chia gels the moment it is wet, so it is never soaked. Scatter the dry seed on a damp surface, mist gently once or twice a day and keep it in good light.

How to Sprout

1. Do not soak these seeds. They form a gel as soon as they meet water.
2. Scatter the dry seed evenly over a damp growing medium or a fine sprouting tray.
3. Mist lightly once or twice a day, just enough to keep the surface damp.
4. Keep in a bright location, away from direct hot sunlight.
5. Harvest in 8 to 10 days, once the shoots reach 1 to 2 inches tall.
6. Snip and use fresh.

Non-GMO and heirloom, and just as good grown on as microgreens.
