Rocket Sprout Seeds Rocket seeds cannot be grown on their own, which is why they must be grown together with red clover or alfalfa (our recommendation). The following ratio works very well for growing the sprouts: 1 level teaspoon of rocket and 2 heaped tablespoons of alfalfa, where the seed quantity refers to the sprouting jar for sprouting seeds. However, growing them together is by no means a disadvantage; the delicious rocket sprouts provide a tangy complement to the alfalfa sprouts. Why does rocket need to be grown with alfalfa? Rocket seeds (just like cress) stick together very strongly at the start of the germination process. Growing them on their own would not work. We therefore recommend always growing rocket seeds alongside alfalfa seeds, as their germination times are perfectly matched. Red clover seeds can also be used as an alternative to alfalfa. Why rocket is healthy Rocket is rich in the following nutrients: Vitamin C Bitter compounds and flavourings Mustard oils Fibre secondary plant compounds Uses You can simply eat the rocket and alfalfa sprouts on their own or mix them into salads. They’re also ideal as a topping for your fitness sandwich or for garnishing main courses. Germinating rocket 3.1-litre sprouting jar: Soak 1 level teaspoon of rocket seeds and 2 heaped tablespoons of alfalfa seeds for 10 hours. 1.7-litre sprouting jar: Soak 1 level teaspoon of rocket seeds and 1.5 heaped tablespoons of alfalfa seeds for 10 hours.
