The all-new Micro-Greens & Sprouts Seed Bank includes everything you need to start growing fresh nutrient-rich sprouts in as little as 3 days!

Includes Large Glass Mason Jar

Each and every living seed will grow into a plant. It's when that seed begins to grow (germinate) that we call the beginning growth stage of the plant a "sprout". This is the practice of germinating seeds to be eaten either raw or cooked. They are a convenient way to have fresh vegetables for salads, or otherwise, in any season and can be germinated at home or produced industrially. Sprouts are said to be rich in digestible energy, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and phytochemicals!  In as little as 3 days you will be able to start eating your fresh sprouts! Super easy to grow and extremely healthy for you.

Steps for Sprouting Seeds

The easiest method of growing sprouts is to use a Mason jar. The key is to provide plenty of fresh air to enter the jar and only cover the top with a mesh screen.

Step 1: Soaking

For a quart-sized jar, put 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of small seeds (up to 1 cup if using larger seeds like green peas or garbanzo) in the sprouting jar. Cover top of jar with cloth or sprouting lid and rinse the seeds in warm (not hot) water. Drain and refill so that water is about an inch above the seeds. Let the seeds soak 8-12 hours (overnight). Protect from light by covering with a dish towel or placing in a cupboard.

Step 2: Rinsing

Rinse 2 to 3 times per day for 2 to 3 days. After thoroughly draining the rinse water, lay the jar on its side to spread out the seeds. Do not expose to light. After 2 to 3 days the sprouts should be filling up the jar.


Things to Remember:

1. Rinse often (2-3 times/day).

2. Keep them moist, not wet.

3. Keep them at room temperature.

4. Give them air to breathe.

5. Don't grow too many in one container.

6. Keep them in a dark place.

The Daisy, specifically the Rudbeckia Hirta, is a perennial plant that is widely appreciated for its vibrant yellow flowers and its ability to thrive in various garden conditions. This species, commonly known as the Black-eyed Susan, belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to North America. The plant typically reaches a height of 1 to 3 feet and produces flowers that can measure up to 3 inches in diameter.

Rudbeckia Hirta is characterized by its distinctive dark brown or black center, surrounded by bright yellow petals. This striking appearance not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of gardens but also attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, which are essential for maintaining ecological balance. Studies indicate that plants like Rudbeckia Hirta can increase pollinator activity by up to 50% in garden environments.

In terms of cultivation, Rudbeckia Hirta is known for its resilience and adaptability. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, making it suitable for diverse planting locations. The plant thrives in well-drained soil and can withstand drought conditions once established. It is important to note that while Rudbeckia Hirta is relatively low-maintenance, regular deadheading can promote prolonged blooming periods, extending the flowering season from mid-summer to early fall.

From a horticultural perspective, the Rudbeckia Hirta is often used in mixed borders, wildflower gardens, and as a cut flower in arrangements. Its ability to self-seed allows for natural propagation, contributing to the sustainability of garden ecosystems. However, gardeners should be mindful of its potential to spread, as it can become invasive in certain regions if not managed properly.

In summary, the Daisy (Rudbeckia Hirta) is a valuable addition to any garden, offering both visual appeal and ecological benefits. Its ease of care, coupled with its role in supporting pollinator populations, makes it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners alike. By incorporating Rudbeckia Hirta into your gardening plans, you can enhance the biodiversity and beauty of your outdoor space.
