Wheatgrass sprouting seeds were popularized for high nutrient content of vitamins and minerals, and ease of access. Wheatgrass sprouts are the first shoots of the common wheat plant, the newly sprouted shoots are often dried and powdered for quick and versatile consumption. Sprouting seeds should be soaked for 8-12 hours and will sprout in 6-10 days. They need to be thoroughly rinsed with cool, clean water every 8-12 hours. Refrigerate your sprouts after their final rinse.
