| 2½ | tablespoon | Alfalfa seeds |

Directions
Use about 2-½ tablespoons seeds in a quart jar, or sprout on trays.
This will yield about 1 quart of sprouts. The yield will be 1-½ cups for each ¼ cup sprouted, and the sprouts will be very short; only about ⅛ inch long.
Soak for 8 hours. Rinse 2 to 3 times daily for 4 to 6 days.
Move into sunlight to green, then harvest when sprouts are 1-½ to 2 inches long. Use in salads, sandwiches, omelets, or as garnish. To use in baked goods, harvest sprouts after just 2 days.
