Nutrient-packed and wholesome: Kamut sprouts are a powerhouse of nutrition, offering a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Known for their slightly sweet and nutty flavor, Kamut sprouts are an excellent addition to your diet, providing a hearty and wholesome boost. These sprouts are particularly popular for their antioxidant properties and can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, from salads to grain bowls, or even as a healthy snack on their own.

How to Grow: To grow Kamut sprouts, begin by soaking the seeds in water for about 8–12 hours, or overnight. After soaking, drain and rinse the seeds thoroughly, and place them in a sprouting jar or tray. Keep the sprouting container in a warm area with temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, rinsing the seeds with water 2–3 times a day to keep them moist but not soggy. Within 4–6 days, your Kamut sprouts will be ready to harvest, showing small, tender shoots.

Harvesting: Kamut sprouts are typically ready to harvest when the shoots have grown to about 1–2 inches in height, usually within 4–6 days. They will have a pale green color with a fresh, slightly nutty flavor. Gently rinse them with cool water to remove any seed husks, and they are ready for use. Kamut sprouts can be eaten raw in salads, sandwiches, or wraps, or added to cooked dishes like soups, stir-fries, or grain bowls for an extra burst of nutrition.
