Easy Guide: Grow Alfalfa Sprouts in Your Tiny Kitchen

Creative Ways to Use Your Sprouts

A vibrant garden salad featuring homegrown alfalfa sprouts alongside sliced avocados and cherry tomatoes on a white plate. The fresh sprouts, similar to those you can grow alfalfa sprouts at home, add a delicate texture among the hearty ingredients.
