Leafy Sprouts

Alfalfa and Clover are what most Americans think of when they think of Sprouts. Tender yet crisp these tiny little plants are - to many - bland in flavor. It was in fact, Gil's utter hatred for Alfalfa sprouts that compelled him (me) to create a flavor filled alternative - Russian Mix, in early 1994. Between you and I; us Sproutpeople have completely changed the concept of Leafy Sprouts for a lot of folks - by combining seeds (which produce Sprouts) with A LOT of flavor, with Alfalfa and Clover (which have little flavor) we have created blends which transcend the old concept of Sprouts.

We wanted to not only like eating our sprouts but to crave them. We found that a Radish seed produces a sprout - in 4 days - which though tiny, has ALL of the flavor (and a far superior texture) of a full grown Radish. We looked (and still look) for more seeds like this and discovered that the Sprouts produced by Garlic Chives, Onion, Mustard, Cress and Arugula also have awesome flavors. We mixed these and other exotic seeds into the rather bland (though texturally exquisite) Clover and Alfalfa to create profoundly crave-able, super nutritious, Gourmet Sprouts! Italian Blend is so excellent and French Garden so perfectly delicious that gourmet restaurants use them!

The mixes on this page have the power to not only change completely your perception of sprouts, but to change your life as well! God knows they changed ours @:-)~

Alfalfa

$8.24
per Lb.
Add to Cart

The classic American leafy sprout. Mild nutty flavor and a wonderfully crispy texture. It was Gil's dislike for Alfalfa that led to many of our wonderful Leafy Sprout Blends.
Alfalfa was just too bland for Gil, back then. Nowadays he eats it almost as often as our mixes. Our Alfalfa comes from Canada.

Clover

$7.89
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Almost identical to Alfalfa in flavor - nutty and mild, but with a lighter green leaf.
We prefer Red Clover to Alfalfa as it sheds its hulls more readily and often lasts longer in the fridge - as a sprout.
We use Red Clover as the base for most of our gourmet mixes. Our Red Clover is from Canada.

French Garden

$10.11
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Clover, Arugula, Cress, Radish, Fenugreek, Dill

The inclusion of Arugula - an amazingly tasty sprout - is what has made French Garden by far our most popular Leafy sprout blend since it's creation in 1995. This is as gourmet as sprouts get! A delectable blend of mildly sweet, tangy, bitter and peppery. It really is perfect, if we do say so ourselves.

Italian Blend

$10.90
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Clover, Garlic, Cress

Another gourmet blend, Italian is 2nd only to French Garden in popularity among our Leafy Sprouts.
A great way to enjoy Garlic Sprouts (which cost so darn much solo) along with another very tasty sprout; Cress.

Moo Mix

$8.88
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Alfalfa and Clover

A simple combination for those who want mild flavor.
Our Farmers Market customers used to say "alfalfa, that's what cows eat", hence the name =:-D
Simple yet elegant.

Mother's Mix

$11.11
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Red Clover, Alfalfa, Broccoli, Fenugreek, Natural & Black Sesame & Garlic Chive

This Mix (new in 2009) really should be named Crystal's Mothers Mix as it was suggested to us by a very thoughtful customer.
Mother's Mix is basically a Leafy Sprout Blend - it appears in that category as well. Mother's Mix is full of nutrients and other things that are essential for pregnant and nursing moms. It tastes fantastic, and anyone and everyone can enjoy that!

Nick's Hot Sprout Salad

$10.20
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Clover, Radish, Fenugreek, Mustard, Dill, Cress and Celery

Our spiciest mix (named after our 3rd, now departed, mild mannered cat), Nick's has a fantastic aroma. All of our spicy seeds are in here and the addition of Celery makes for a unique and full aromatic quality. Very tasty - as long as you like some heat.

Oriental Greens

$11.33
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Alfalfa, Clover, Oriental Mustard, Mizuna and Tatsoi

Yet another in our geographic theme sprout mixes. We started naming mixes this way because we never went anywhere (We spent every day rinsing sprouts.) and we thought we might derive some vicarious travel pleasure. This is flavored with multiple mild mustards.

Russian Mix

$11.22
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Clover, Onion, Mustard, Dill, Fenugreek

Our personal favorite among the Leafy sprouts and also the oldest of these mixes. It is the perfect accompaniment to a bagel. Oddly, I (Gil) used to hate sprouts (I mean Hate!) at age 19, when I moved to San Francisco (from Chicago), they put sprouts on everything - including bagels. It really infuriated me. But now, I eat Russian Mix topped bagels at an alarming rate - have for years - sometimes without anything else - just a toasted bagel with Russian Mix. The moral of my story: Never say never. @;-)

Spicy Mix

$9.87
per Lb.
Add to Cart

Alfalfa, Clover, Radish, Fenugreek

A common sprout mix - most sprout growers offer some version. Ours is different because it has Fenugreek and enough Radish to actually be considered spicy - by some folks anyway. If you really want spicy try Nick's Hot Sprout Salad!

Sproutpeople Stainless Steel 3-Screen Sprouting Lid Set

Made by Sproutpeople!

Fine mesh, Medium mesh and Coarse mesh.
Our 3-Screen Lid Set is made up of Stainless Steel Mesh - in 3 different mesh sizes (fine, medium and course) - each nestled in a heavy-duty Plastic Ring. Our Screen Lids fit Wide-Mouth Jar Mason Jars, like those we sell.

The wider the mesh - the more readily water and air pass through the screen. Use the fine mesh (the finest mesh size ever!) for small seeds (Leafy and Brassica sprouts), the medium mesh for Grains and small Beans and the coarse mesh for large Beans.
As your sprouts grow bigger, you can move to a bigger mesh size to improve air-circulation and facilitate the escape of hulls, thus making de-hulling easier.

You can also grow
Leafy Sprouts as Micro-Greens using

Miniature Garden

The only device made just for Micro-Greens!
The Miniature Garden is a small and attractive device. It's great for growing small crops of Micro-Greens, decorative growing and growing at work.

Using the Miniature Garden is extremely simple. Just sprinkle small seeds on the moist felt pads and watch 'em grow!
Well, there's a tiny bit more then that, but not much.

Not a big crop sprouter, but very fun and exceptionally attractive as Sprouters go!
The Mini-Garden has 4 trays, each measuring approximately 4x5 inches.
When not in use, the trays nestle in the base - which also measures approximately 4x5 inches.
