I grew alfalfa sprouts years ago when we were first married and for some reason stopped. They are so easy to grow and when I saw the seeds at our local plant nursery (Bakers!) I picked up a package of seeds and decided to give it another go. :)
All you need is:
seeds
a jar
cheese cloth or a piece of panty hose
and a rubber band
Day 1: you put seeds in jar (enough to cover the bottom)
Cover with water. Put in dark cool place and let sit overnight
Day 2: Dump out water.
Rinse 3 times a day for the next 3 days
Keep in dark place.
Day 4: Rinse one last time and sit jar in sunlight.
This will make the sprouts turn green (sorry for really bad photo :()
After a day or two they will be ready to eat!

The alfalfa sprouts are definitely one of the easiest herbs to grow. In fact, any novice in gardening can grow alfalfa like a professional gardener. Plus, it’s one of the fastest growing herbs because you can already harvest it and include it in your meal in just five days. Caution: Do not use alfalfa without first talking to your doctor if you take Warfarin (Coumadin) medicine. This is because alfalfa contains high amounts of Vitamin K, which hamper the drug’s effectiveness.
