Sprouting Chia
Monday, August 23, 2021We eat chias to keep ourselves healthy. Because they are seeds, they can also be grown into sprouts or microgreens. Recently I started growing some and here is the result...
First, I placed some chias onto some gravels and soil and left the pot near the window of my kitchen. The spot is sunny in the morning. I water the chias regularly to keep them moist all the time.
As the chias sprout out roots and shoots, I protected them with a transparent cover.
The sprouts grew fast and within a couple of days, they shot up more than a centimetre tall.
After I harvested the sprouts, a second batch emerged...
In the garden, I have also sprinkled some chias into a small pot of soil and they sprouted quickly too.
Now, I have some chia plants growing in my garden and ready for transplanting to a sunny spot.
Happy growing chias!
