Description
Crisp and juicy beansprouts are an essential ingredient for healthy stir-fries and other oriental dishes.
Quick to crop, beansprouts can be used fresh in salads and sandwiches within a few days of sowing.
Rich in iron, potassium, vitamins A, C and E and high in amino acids.
If you want your seeds to germinate quickly you can put down a horticultural fleece over the soil – this helps retain the heat in the soil, and doubles up as protection from hungry seed-eating mice.
Growing Calendar
How to Guide
Sowing Indoors
Unwins sprouting seeds can be grown successfully on any warm, light windowsill which is not in full sun all day. Place two layers of absorbent growing medium, like kitchen roll, into a shallow dish or tray. These should be thoroughly wet, but drained of excess water.
Sow the seed fairly thickly over the wet growing medium. Place the dish in a warm, light airy position. Maintain a temperature of around 15C (60F). Keep the sowing moist but not saturated. This will ensure rapid germination.
Depending on the exact growing conditions, the young seedlings should be ready for harvesting with a pair of scissors five to ten days after sowing.
