Rucola sprouting seeds are gelatinous seeds, so they can only be grown on a tray, such as the terracotta sprouting tower.

How to grow sprouts out of rucola sprouting seeds:

1. Soak seeds for just 10-15 minutes. Rucola seeds are gelatinous, which means that they retain moisture around the seed.

2. Spread the seeds evenly on a tray, like terracotta sprouting tower‘s tray.

3. Water the seeds using a plant mister once a day, and once the first baby leaves have grown, increase the watering time to 2-3 times a day.

4. When ready, sprouts can be stored refrigerated.

5. Make sure to wash the sprouts before eating.
