Nutrient-packed and versatile: Hard Red Spring Wheat sprouting seeds produce delicious, nutrient-rich sprouts perfect for salads, sandwiches, or smoothies. Known for their robust flavor and high nutritional value, wheat sprouts are rich in fiber, protein, and essential vitamins, making them an excellent addition to any healthy diet. They are also a popular choice for growing wheatgrass for juicing.

How to Grow: To grow Hard Red Spring Wheat sprouts, start by soaking the seeds in water for 8–12 hours. Drain and rinse them thoroughly, then place the seeds in a sprouting jar or tray. Rinse and drain the seeds twice daily, keeping them in a warm, well-ventilated area. Within 2–4 days, the seeds will sprout, and you’ll see small, tender shoots emerging. Avoid exposing the sprouts to direct sunlight during the initial stages of growth.

Harvesting: Wheat sprouts are ready to harvest when the shoots are about 1–2 inches long, typically within 2–4 days. Rinse them thoroughly and pat dry before consuming. Enjoy them fresh in salads, sandwiches, or blended into smoothies for a nutritional boost. If you’re growing wheatgrass, allow the sprouts to grow longer, and harvest when they reach 6–8 inches, perfect for juicing.
