Question

Will the jar method work with radish sprouts also?

Community Answer

Yes. You can do a number of types of sprouts. We do alfalfa and mung beans, but anything that is an edible sprout will work. I love pea sprouts, but I haven’t tried growing them yet.

Question

Can I use alfalfa sprouts in a stir fry?

Community Answer

Yes, they go well in a stir fry. Make sure to put them in at the end and stir through because they don't need cooking.

Question

Can I plant alfalfa sprouts by sprinkling them on top of the soil?

Community Answer

Alfalfa sprouts are sensitive. Start them indoors if you want. Aphids and rabbits and slugs and deer will love your alfalfa, so plant lots of it.
