Arugula sprouts - 16091

available icon In stock

Arugula sprouts are particularly rich in vitamin C and have a flavor very similar to that of a ripe vegetable. They also have antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. The sprout and leaf are bright green. These seeds, when placed in water, quickly develop a completely water-repellent gelatinous membrane.

Cultivation: Arugula seeds do not require the usual soaking period: the seeds should be lightly moistened and immediately placed according to the chosen germination method. Given their mucilaginous nature, the tray method is recommended. Leave the seeds away from light until the first leaves appear. Water the seeds 1-2 times a day, and only with enough water to keep them moist. The sprouts are ready in 3-4 days. They can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 week.

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.
