Sprouts Collection GIVEAWAY!
ENTER TO WIN! We're giving away a Best-selling Sprout Collection to one lucky winner - read to the end for details on how to enter.
Happy, Healthy Holidays
The holidays are such a special time of year – we get together with our friends and families, share laughter and good times, and reflect on the year behind us. We also gather to share delicious meals prepared with love and steeped in tradition – sometimes many, many of them. This is one of the few times of year when we embrace abundance with abandon, even as much of the country is frozen in the grip of winter and plant growth has ground to a halt. But it doesn’t have to – in fact, just the opposite. There have never been more options for producing fresh food in the winter than there are now – and you can give your holiday meals a nutritional boost while you’re at it.
With sprouts it’s easy to grow your own fresh food indoors, all year round. And now you can share that gift with friends and family! We are pleased to launch a NEW Special Holiday Collection of our Best-selling sprouting seeds paired with a sprout jar lid – so you can share a happy and healthy holiday with your loved ones. Best of all, we’ll be giving away a Best-selling Sprout Collection to one lucky winner! Read on to enter and learn more about sprouting.
What are sprouts?
Sprouts are tiny immature plants grown without soil. We offer them in a wide array of flavors for a multitude of versatile culinary uses. Some varieties, like Alfalfa and Sandwich Booster Mix make delicious greens for sandwiches and salads, while others, like Crunchy Bean Mix and Ancient Eastern Blend are perfect garnishes for soups and entrees. Still others, like our best-selling Mung Beans, are essential ingredients in Asian dishes such as Pad Thai. Visit our Sprouting Seed page for more recipe ideas!
Why grow sprouts?
Sprouting at home offers a unique opportunity to produce your own fresh greens indoors, and can be done even where space and light are very limited. It’s so quick and easy to do that it makes a great activity to do with kids. Just soak, rinse, and harvest your fresh sprouts in 3-5 days! Sprouts are exceptionally nutritious, and when you grow them at home they are literally the freshest food available. Plus, homegrown sprouts are more affordable (and the results last longer) than store-bought sprouts. Need more reasons to choose our sprouting seeds? They’re the only 100% certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified sprouting seeds in North America, and the only ones in the US being packaged according to Federal food safety standards.
How are sprouts grown?
Growing sprouts at home couldn’t be simpler – all you need is a clean wide mouth quart jar, a sprout jar lid, seeds, and water! Once you have your materials, it’s as easy as one, two, three:
- SOAK – Place 1-2 tsp sprouting seeds in your clean jar and cap with sprout jar lid. Soak your sprouting seeds in cool fresh water for 2-12 hours (follow the recommendations for individual varieties in the package instructions)
- RINSE your sprouting seeds with cool fresh water every 8-12 hours for 3-5 days. Place the jar upside down in a bowl at an angle after each rinse to allow water to continue to drain. On the last day, place the jar in indirect light to “green up” your sprouts.
- HARVEST (and eat!) your finished sprouts after 3-5 days (use time recommended on package). Sprouts can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

My Wish Lists
Quite disappointed. I hate my "stupid" phone. )': :'(
in our salads and on our sandwiches!!! The vegetable seeds from High Mowing have been great...so, it's time to enjoy the sprouting seeds, too :)
I grew my own 30 years ago but got involved doing too many other things and forgot about how good they are.
