How to Sprout Leek Seeds
Soak seeds for 6–8 hours in lukewarm water. Place in a sprouting jar or on a flat tray on damp paper towels. Rinse twice daily. Onion-family seeds sprout slowly – first shoots appear after 3–4 days, with full size reached at 7–10 days. Move to indirect light 1–2 days before harvest for a nice green color. Use as a garnish immediately after harvest for best appearance.
