Organic sprouting seeds with varied flavors
Germline sprouting seeds allow you to grow young shoots with different tastes and textures at home.
For a milder flavor, you can opt for alfalfa or red clover. Black radish, pink radish, mustard, cress, and arugula offer sharper notes. Fennel stands out for its slightly aniseed taste.
The collection also includes Calabrian broccoli, broccoli rabe, red cabbage, onion, leek, lentil, wheat, whole sunflower, and mung bean seeds. Each variety has its own germination characteristics and usage advice.
Germline seed mixes ready for sprouting
To combine several flavors in one sprouter, Germline offers different organic seed mixes.
Depending on the references available, you can find, for example:
- Alfalfa, Radish, and Fennel;
- Alfalfa, Cress, and Red Cabbage;
- Alfalfa and Arugula;
- Alfalfa, Clover, and Radish;
- 4 Radish Mix;
- Protein Mix.
These mixes are designed to sprout several compatible varieties together. Respect the soaking time, germination duration, and type of sprouter indicated on the chosen mix's page.
How to choose your organic sprouting seeds?
To select your seeds, start by determining the flavors you want in your recipes. You can then take into account the germination method and the time needed before harvest.
Before ordering, compare in particular:
- the variety or the composition of the mix;
- the desired taste: mild, aniseed, or sharper;
- the soaking time;
- the germination duration;
- the recommended type of sprouter;
- the format and weight of the bag;
- any allergens or traces that may be reported;
- usage and storage advice.
Instructions can vary significantly from one reference to another. It is therefore preferable to consult the detailed product page rather than applying the same method to all seeds.
Which sprouter to use for your seeds?
Many seeds can be grown in a jar sprouter or a tiered sprouter. These tools allow you to soak, drain, and rinse the seeds during their development.
Some varieties, such as cress, arugula, and mustard, are, however, mucilaginous seeds. Upon contact with water, they produce a gelatinous substance and require a different germination method. Germline recommends using their germination tray for these seeds.
Always check the recommended equipment on the product page. A suitable sprouter facilitates water drainage and air circulation for the seeds during their growth.
How to sprout Germline seeds?
The exact method depends on the chosen variety. For many seeds, preparation begins with a soaking phase in water. The seeds are then drained and placed in a suitable sprouter.
During germination, they generally need to be rinsed regularly and then properly drained. The time required varies according to the seeds: some shoots appear in a few days, while mucilaginous seeds like cress or arugula take more time.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging or product page regarding:
- the quantity of seeds to use;
- the soaking duration;
- the frequency of rinsing;
- the compatible sprouter;
- the germination duration;
- the recommended size before harvest.
For use in good conditions, clean the sprouter thoroughly before each new crop and use clean utensils.
How to use the seeds after germination?
Depending on the variety, sprouted seeds can be eaten alone or added to different preparations. They add texture and extra flavor to salads, sandwiches, toasts, bowls, soups, or vegetable dishes.
Uses may vary depending on the seeds. Radish, mustard, or arugula, for example, provide a sharper note, while alfalfa has a milder taste. Consult the usage advice for each reference before consumption.
Once sprouted, the seeds should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within the timeframe indicated by Germline. Unused dry seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place.

Frequently asked questions about organic sprouting seeds
Where to buy organic Germline sprouting seeds?
You can order available Germline sprouting seeds on Mon Épicerie Bio. Each page shows the variety, weight, price, soaking time, germination duration, and recommended sprouter.
How long does it take to sprout the seeds?
The duration varies according to the variety. Some seeds sprout in a few days, while others require a longer period. Arugula and cress, for example, generally require between 8 and 12 days. Follow the specific instructions on each bag.
Can the same sprouter be used for all seeds?
No. Many seeds can be grown in a jar or tiered sprouter, but mucilaginous seeds like cress, arugula, or mustard require a suitable germination tray.
What is the difference between sprouting seeds and sprouted seeds?
Sprouting seeds are sold dry and must be grown at home. Sprouted seeds are shoots that are already developed and ready to be used. This collection is dedicated to seeds intended for home germination.
How to store sprouted seeds?
After germination, keep the shoots in the refrigerator in a suitable container. Germline generally indicates a maximum storage time of three days for its home-sprouted seeds. Follow the instructions for the chosen reference as a priority.
