Boxes of 10 or 20 organic varieties, soaking 8 to 12 h, shoots of 5 to 10 cm
The ZenGreens organic sprouting seed set contains 10 or 20 varieties of seeds, one per 10 g sachet. The number refers to the varieties, not to a quantity of seeds. The seeds soak for 8 to 12 hours, then are rinsed 2 to 3 times a day, and the sprouts are cut at 5 to 10 cm.
These are organic seeds for sprouting, to be eaten raw as sprouts or young shoots. You choose a mix, soak the seeds for 8 to 12 hours, then set them to sprout. Sprouts are eaten whole, root included, whereas microgreens are cut just above the roots when they reach 5 to 10 cm.
Brassicas
The shoots of broccoli, radish, rocket, mustard and cress have a flavour ranging from peppery to downright hot.
Legumes
Mung bean, red lentil and pea give soft, crunchy shoots, while alfalfa, red clover and fenugreek, from the same family, give finer sprouts.
Wheat and sunflower
Their shoots are tender and top a slice of bread without overpowering the rest.
Mixes
The salad mix and the Nutri mix combine several species in a single packet, for a seedling bed of mixed flavours.
🔢 What the number means
The number after the name of the assortment is the number of varieties included in the box, not a quantity of seeds. Germes 10 contains 10 different packets, Germes 20 contains 20, and Germes nutri 10 brings together 10 packets chosen for their nutritional density. Each variety arrives in its own labelled paper packet containing 10 g of seeds. The box of 10 includes, for example, mung bean, radish, alfalfa, rocket, pea, salad mix, broccoli raab, cress, sunflower and fenugreek, which already covers the four families, from brassicas to legumes. Going from 10 to 20 varieties therefore widens the range of flavours you can grow in parallel, without changing the quantity of sprouts per seedling.
🌱 Soaking, then the schedule
It all starts with soaking, for 8 to 12 hours in water depending on the size of the seed, long enough for the seed coat to soften. You drain, spread the seeds over the tray, then rinse 2 to 3 times a day until cutting. The first two days are spent away from light, the following ones in natural light. If a batch comes up poorly, the article on the causes of germination failure helps you find the origin, from a seed that is too old to stagnant moisture.
The germination tray that receives the seeds
These seeds are grown in a sprouter, and the shop's two models do not give the same harvest. The glass jar sprouter produces whole sprouts, to be eaten root and all, and can be scaled up to 3 jars run in parallel. The two-tray sprouter grows microgreens to be cut, in a more compact format. The choice is made first according to what you want on your plate, whole sprouts or microgreens, then according to the quantity you eat each week.
Soaking that drags on
Skipping the soak leaves some of the seeds dormant, and the mat comes up unevenly. Letting it run for a whole day causes the opposite problem, since the seed suffocates in the water and ferments before it has germinated. A soak of 8 to 12 hours avoids both risks, and the draining should be complete, with no residual water at the bottom of the container. A sour smell during sprouting most often signals a soak that was too long or incomplete draining.
🥗 What this means in the kitchen
The shoots are eaten raw and added at the last moment, on a salad, a soup, an omelette, a slice of toast or a bowl. They bring a crunchy texture and a colour that cooking erases, which is why they are added once the heat is off. A 10 g packet fills 2 dishes of 16 cm, and nothing obliges you to sow it all at once. The flavour varies greatly from one family to another, from the mildness of legumes to the bite of brassicas.
📦 Keep the bags
A seed to be sprouted is a living seed, and its germination capacity declines with time, heat and humidity. So keep the packets closed, dry and away from light, in an airtight box rather than loose in a kitchen drawer, where steam and temperature swings reduce their germination rate. A packet stored this way keeps a strong germination rate for 1 to 2 years depending on the species. Note the opening date on the packet, because a falling germination rate is easily mistaken for a mistake in method.
🧼 Hygiene during harvesting
Damp seeds at room temperature are a favourable environment for bacteria as much as for sprouts, so hygiene remains the main point to watch with this crop. Rinse and drain thoroughly 2 to 3 times a day, never letting water stand at the bottom, and keep the sprouter in a ventilated room rather than in a closed cupboard. Wash the container between each batch, with soapy water or diluted white vinegar, and do not hesitate to throw out a mat that smells sour or shows grey patches. A smell of fresh sprouts and clear draining water are the two signs that a batch is going well.
