CHICKPEA SPROUTS - 16063

available icon In stock

With a light, nutty flavor and high nutritional value, the most suitable and quickest method for sprouting chickpea seeds is definitely the SproutBag (excellent results can also be achieved using sprouters). Pay attention to the germination time, which is 3-4 days. After this time, the seeds tend to become too floury, crack, and become moldy. A staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, its sprouts should be steamed before eating, but only for a few minutes to prevent the temperature from damaging the enzymes and vitamins these seeds are rich in. This simple technique enhances the flavor of the legumes and ensures better digestibility.

Growing: Soak them in water overnight. The next morning, arrange them on the shelves of the sprouter, keeping in mind that the seeds will expand at least fourfold during the process. Store at room temperature and in good light. Water 2-3 times a day until fully germinated, which occurs in 3-4 days. Eat them immediately or store them in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

Preparing Sprouts
A few simple rules for a healthy and tasty lifestyle! Before you begin, keep in mind that seeds increase up to four times their volume during the germination process: we recommend starting with two teaspoons of seeds for small seeds and half a cup for legume and grain seeds.
 
Preparation: Pre-germination
Seed germination is a process that requires the presence of four essential factors: water, air, heat, and light. Only the combination of these elements allows the chemical reactions that "ignite" the seed and make it germinate. The first phase is pre-germination, which is very important as it activates the germination process. It involves placing the seeds in a container, pouring water over them, and letting them rest for 8-12 hours. A good habit is to soak the seeds in water in the evening so that they'll be ready for the next germination phase the next day.
 
Mucilaginous seeds:
Some species, such as arugula, watercress, flax, basil, and chia, require special care, since, once placed in water, they develop a gelatinous film. With these seeds, it's advisable not to proceed in the traditional way but to soak them in water for only a few minutes (5-15), then immediately place them in the germinator trays. The mucilage surrounding them will keep them moist for the first few days, during which time they should be watered lightly, preferably with a spray bottle, or not at all. In the following days, as the gelatin is absorbed and the first sprouts appear, increase the amount of water until, by the time of harvest, the watering is regular, similar to that used with other sprouts. If the seeds are too small and risk getting stuck in the cracks, you can place a piece of gauze on the bottom of the tray.
