Sprouting Blend

Seven organic grains, beans and legumes are hand-blended to create a superfood boost for your bird's diet. The sprouting process releases digestible enzymes, allowing the body to absorb more proteins, vitamins, and minerals than dry seeds.

Once sprouted, this blend can be added to fresh chops, foraging bowls or used in bird recipes.

Suitable for all birds and great for people learning how to sprout. If your looking for an easier raw food option, see our soaking blends.

How to start sprouting

Around your kitchen sink, out of direct sunlight, is an ideal area to place your sprouter. Whenever you go to the sink for something, get into the habit of rinsing your sprouts.

Rinse under cold water (2-3 tablespoons is enough for two small birds)

Place in a container with a lid and cover an inch above the seeds with cold water.

Soak this blend for twenty-four hours.

Once soaked, you will see the seeds have adsorbed water and expanded. Some seeds may already be sprouting; this is fine.

Rinse with cold water until it runs clear and place in a sprouter.

Rinse as much are possible and no less than four times a day.

Once the seeds start to grow little "tails" you can give a final rinse, drain then feed. Sprouted seeds are most nutritious if fed while the tails are just emerging. Some grains or seeds may take a little longer than others; like Sunflower, it is still okay to feed if some are only just starting to grow tails.

This sprouting blend, under ideal conditions, should take no longer than two days to be ready for feeding.

When feeding sprouted seed, ensure it is free from mould, and other kitchen contaminates. If you have particular issues, you can use a few drops of Vetfarm Aviclens or Organic Apple Cider Vinegar when soaking.

Tip: Don't waste the water you used for soaking; pour it onto your garden. It's full of powerful nutrients!

Tools you will need

It can be soaked in any clean container, but you will require a fine strainer as some seeds are very small. Our Beginner Sprouting Jar works best. Soak out of direct sunlight in a cool dark place.

How to use

Offer as is, mix into chop or bird recipes.
