Growing Organic Onion Sprout Seeds
Using either a seed sprouting jar, sprouting tray, terra cotta sprouter, or hemp sprout bag, add about 2 tbsp non-GMO onion sprouting seeds to your container and allow seeds an initial soaking for 3-4 hours. After initial soak, continue to rinse onion sprouting seeds 2-3x per day and immediately drain, not allowing water to sit and soak. Rinse seeds 2-3x per day for 5-7 days, keeping onion sprouts fresh, crunchy, and hydrated without waterlogging. Non-GMO onion sprouts are quick to harvest in just 5-7 days, ready for fresh use with a milder taste than mature onion, and with an extra crunchy sweetness. Onion sprouting seeds grow a protein-rich sprout fortified with Fiber, Calcium, Iron, Vitamins A, C and only about 25 calories per cup.
More Than A Sprouting Seed
Allium cepa, or more commonly known as bulb onion, is one of the most beloved root vegetables in the world. There are several varieties of "wild onion" as part of the Allium family such as Japanese bunching onion, tree onion, and Canadian onion, but the culinary world is most familiar with yellow onions (brown), red (purple), and the classic white onion. Try substituting sprouted onion seeds where you might normally find raw onions minced, diced, or garnished. Onion sprouts deliver the fresh and satisfying snap of an onion, regardless of color or profile, without having to tame and cut through acidic notes. Even fully matured, onions are very low in calories, while still providing world-class flavors.
