Prep 4 Tablespoons of seed* then transfer (if necessary) into a bowl or into your Sprouter. Notes: Alliums tend to float. Try to sink those that do by knocking them down with your fingers. Most of those floating seeds will sink during the hours they are soaking, but it is a good habit to pay attention to your seed's needs, and this is the perfect place to start! There tends to be some plant matter in with the seeds of Alliums. This plant matter is nothing but small pieces of the plants which the seeds grew on. This plant matter has so far eluded the massive seed cleaning methods used on sprouting seed. They will not elude you! These dry plant bits usually float, so the perfect time to get rid of them is before you soak - during seed Prep and/or after the seeds have soaked for 8 - 12 hours - pour off the floating stuff. You can help by stirring the seeds up - thus helping any non-floating bits to surface from below. Easy isn't it? Allow seeds to Soak for 8-12 hours. Note: Now is a good time to discard floating plant bits. Empty the seeds into your sprouter (if necessary). Set your Sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between Rinses. Rinse and Drain every 8-12 hours. You should see some sprouting action in between 4 and 7 days. Don't give up - EVER - they will sprout! Note: Alliums are unique in that the sprout they produce is actually the plant - as opposed to the root - which is what almost all other seeds produce during the sprouting process. These plants look like - and are - tiny little Greens - like micro-scallions! As soon as these micro-scallions emerge from the seed they are able to take up light - because they are the leaf! You don't have to do anything drastic but you can move on to...... Greening Continue to Rinse and Drain every 8-12 hours. Finishing Note: The seed of an Allium is pretty intense. If you grow for a long enough time, many will fall away from the sprout, but we've never gone that long. They just taste toooooo good and we don't mind the seed enough to wait. Harvest OR We can use a salad spinner to dry the sprouts after their final Rinse and skip the final 8-12 hour wait, instead going directly to Refrigeration. Refrigerate Notes: When conditions are warmer your sprouts will likely grow faster. Likewise they may grow slower if conditions are very cool. As always 70° is optimal. Depending on your sprouting device, not all of your sprouts will have access to light and so some will not green. This is not only OK - it is good. The yellow sprouts will be equally nutritious (they have everything but chlorophyll) and many think them more delicious (in Europe vegetables are often grown "blanched" by avoiding light). We think they are prettier when there is a mix of green and yellow to go with the white roots. So don't sweat it - just eat more sprouts! You can help your crop by "breaking up" your sprouts when they clump up - around day 5-10 and daily thereafter. We use high water pressure when Rinsing to keep our sprouts loose, but this only works for so long - so - when water isn't enough, break the clump of sprouts up using a fork, or your fingers (wash your hands first please, if they need it). If you are using a sprouter that can hold water, fill it mostly full then use a fork to loosen the mass of sprouts. You can also dump your sprouts onto or into something and just shake them apart. This is by no means mandatory - this loosening - but it can help more of them green. Don't ever be afraid*** of touching your sprouts. They are much stronger then they appear - just be reasonably gentle. *** The only thing to fear is fear itself! Ingredient Note All references to Garlic on sproutpeople.com or any other sprouting seed supplier refers to the seed produced by a Garlic Chive plant. Garlic does not produce seeds - it produces bulbuls and bulbs. Garlic Chive is virtually identical in flavor to Garlic. Seed Storage Alliums have the shortest shelf life of any sprouting seed. Since they are also so painfully expensive we suggest that you freeze your seed. Keep them in any sealed container. The only concern is condensation and all you need to do to avoid it is, return the seed to the freezer within a few minutes, after you've removed what you need to sprout. You do not have to wait to soak the seeds. * If using Single Harvest Pack - use the whole bag. Alliums yield approximately 4.5:1, so in theory you can start with as much as 1/5 as much dry seed as your Sprouter has capacity.

Though it is actually a chive seed, it tastes just like Garlic. You can find Garlic in our Leafy sprout - Italian Blend as well. The slowest sprout, Garlic takes up to 14 days to finish sprouting - but it is worth it! An awesome flavor! Garlic Chive

We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, mom n' pop. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001.We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed.
We appreciate your business more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here.Thanks again for your patronage and your many kind words.
