Sprouted seeds are a very valuable and healthy food product. In germinated seeds, several times more vital substances are formed than in a grown plant. Germinated watercress seeds contain a lot of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and D, potassium, calcium, iodine, iron and phosphorus.
Suitable as a seasoning for egg dishes or for sandwiches (especially with cheese).
Germinating seeds is easy. They should be thoroughly rinsed, placed in a container for germination and filled with water. The water should cover the seeds, its volume should be 3-4 times the volume of the seeds. Seeds should be soaked in water for 4-12 hours (depending on their size) until they swell. Then drain the water.
Store swollen seeds without water in a covered container so that they do not dry out before germination. You need to germinate seeds from 2 to 10 days (depending on the variety). At least twice a day, germinating seeds should be moistened (filled with water and drained again). Grow overgrowths of germinated seeds in the light. Seedlings are cut and juice is squeezed out of them.
