Cultivation Advice For Organic Sprouting Seeds Tendril Pea

• Choose certified organic Tendril Pea seeds specifically labeled for sprouting. Ensure they are untreated and safe for consumption.
• You can sprout Tendril Pea seeds in a shallow tray, sprouting bag, or using a sprouting jar with a mesh lid designed for sprouting.
• Measure about 2-3 tablespoons of Tendril Pea seeds (adjust the amount based on your container size). Rinse the seeds thoroughly under cold water to remove debris.
• Place the seeds in the sprouting container and cover them with about 2-3 times their volume of clean water. Soak the seeds for around 8-12 hours or overnight.
• After soaking, drain the water from the seeds using a fine mesh sieve or sprouting lid. Rinse the seeds thoroughly with fresh water and drain again.
• Spread the rinsed seeds evenly in the sprouting container to ensure good coverage. Cover the container with a breathable lid or cloth secured with a rubber band.
• Rinse the seeds twice a day (morning and evening) by thoroughly flushing them with water and draining well each time.
• Tendril Pea sprouts usually start to show growth within 2-4 days. Allow them to grow to your desired length, typically around 2-4 inches, within 5-7 days.
• If desired, expose the sprouts to indirect sunlight for a few hours on the final day to encourage chlorophyll development and a slightly milder flavor.
• Once the sprouts reach the desired length, give them a final rinse and drain thoroughly. Use clean scissors to cut the sprouts just above the seeds.
• After harvesting, pat the sprouts dry using clean paper towels and store them in a breathable container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. Consume within a few days for freshness.

• Thoroughly clean and sanitize your sprouting containers, lids, or any equipment used in the sprouting process before and after each use to minimize the risk of contamination.
• Adequate airflow is crucial for healthy sprout growth. Avoid overcrowding the seeds and ensure proper ventilation by using breathable lids or covers.
• To promote even sprouting, gently rotate or shake the container occasionally during the sprouting process to prevent the seeds from sticking together.
