    ABOUT

    Alfalfa, Medicago sativa, is the plant that British farmers call lucerne and grow for hay. Like clover and peas, it is a legume. As a microgreen it forms a soft tangle of slender, pale green stems with small, bright green seed leaves. The taste is mild, fresh and slightly nutty, without bitterness.

    The seed is very fine, about 450 to the gram, so give it a smooth, firm surface and sow it as evenly as you can. Coco coir and hemp mats work well, and so does fine potting soil. You don't need to soak it, and dry seed is easier to spread. If you prefer to soak it, 4–5 hours is enough; drain it well before sowing.

    Why 20 g per tray? At about 450 seeds per gram, 20 g gives roughly 9,000 seeds, enough for a full tray without crowding. Alfalfa grows into a dense mat, so sowing much thicker keeps the surface damp and invites mould. Cut it at the seed-leaf stage, 7–10 days after sowing; if you wait for the first true leaves, it takes longer.

    IN THE KITCHEN

    Alfalfa microgreens are light and mild, so use them generously. Pile them on avocado toast, layer them into sandwiches and wraps, add them to a hummus plate or finish a chilled gazpacho with a handful. Add them raw, just before serving. Keep them dry in a closed box in the fridge and use them within a few days.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Fill a 25 × 50 cm tray with 3–4 cm of moist coco coir or fine potting soil, or lay a damp hemp mat in it. Smooth the surface and press it firm: fine seed needs an even bed.
    2 Scatter 20 g of seed (15–25 g) as evenly as you can; a shaker jar helps with seed this fine. Sow it dry, or soak it for 4–5 hours first and drain it well. Press the seeds lightly into the surface and mist them.
    3 Cover the tray with a second tray or a lid with a light weight on top and keep it in the dark at 18–22 °C for 2–3 days. Check once a day and mist or water from below if the surface starts to dry out.
    4 When the seedlings start to lift the cover, move the tray under a grow light or to a bright window. Water from below, so the dense, fine stems stay dry, and give the tray good airflow: it helps prevent mould.
    5 Harvest 7–10 days after sowing, when the seed leaves are fully open. Stop watering about 12 hours before and cut just above the medium with clean, sharp scissors.
