Arugula and Cress have a very strong peppery taste and feel to their sprouts.  These are NOT a mild tasting sprouts.  They should be ADDED to other sprouts, raw sprouted soups and raw salads.   NOT to be used as a base for soups and salads.

 

Arugula and Cress are gelatinous seeds.  That means that a gel like sac forms around the seed when it gets wet.  Just like flax and psyllium.  These seeds do not need to be pre-soaked before they are sprouted.  Because, the pre-soaking will just make a gooey thing of seeds in your jar or bowl of water. 

 

If you use gelatinous seeds in a mix, they should be no more than 10% of the entire mix.

 

Argula and Cress and other gelatinous seeds can be sprouted in a number of different ways. 

One of them is to sprout them using a clay tray sprouter.  This method keeps the seeds wet from below because the clay absorbs water.  This is a great way to grow gelatinous seeds. 

Another method is to sprout them ON TOP of a sprout bag. 

You can also use our Sure To Grow mats.  If you use the Sure To Grow mats, you can use any sprouter.  I have been growing Argula and Cress with the Sprout Master Tray Sprouters and the Sure To Grow mats with terrific results.
